So my 85 year old Dad refuses to move from a 2 acre lot to a suburb. That means I need to cut his grass this summer. He has a rider, but he also likes to tinker with it so I am going to just presume that it is non functional. I need to get my rider to his house. The rider weighs 425lb, the trailer I am looking at is 250lb. Can a 1995 civic lx 5sp tow that weight? I bought a hitch for it off Etrailer mainly as a joke a few years ago. I "believe" that I read somewhere that it can tow 1000lb but cannot remember where I read it. The owners manual state that towing is not advisable and will void any warrenty
Any ideas?
Thanks

well then. that answers that

 

Civics can do anything if you believe hard enough.

 

I have personally seen a couple of Civic's (and one Del Sol) through the years towing one or two jet skis and two dirt bikes. I would say you would be good.

 

I know this is an old thread, but towing my riding lawnmower out to dads, 40 miles one way, got me thinking. Whats the weirdest/largest thing people have seen a honda or a small car tow.?
Btw my 95 civic lx with 445k miles did just fine towing. trailer weight 400# mower 415# , edger 30# for a total of 845 pounds. It does fine
Just wondering
