:shock: I think the tow rating on that car is around 3800lbs. If so he's pushing the limit.

still even if it is within the chassis rating, the transmission and rear end were not designed or built for towing. none the less i hope that it is a short haul.

Just noticed that. Which means he is using the Euro hitch which has a different ball size as well.

That doesn't look like any 50mm European hitch I've seen.

Regardless, the boat doesn't seem to be strapped to the trailer; free to do what it wants apart from the front eye attachment. Reckless and scary !
