Anyone pull a trailer with their car?

Just curious if I could pull my 911 or trackbike with my wagon.

I would think both wouldn't be a problem given the power, tranny and brakes (although I personally wouldn't try to trailer the 911). This question has been asked before and I believe it came down to finding a hitch that would fit the wagon. Whenever I'm in Europe, all you see are less powerful estates trailering everything so once again I don't think it would be a problem.

On a side note - this exact question I'm working on as we speak (winter 4X4 and track bike tower); as an FYI, there are a lot of options under 10,000.00 for a dedicated puller (1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees; Dodge Durangos, Ford explorers etc). . .

Easily the bike. See it in Germany all the time. The 911 is going to be more scary, but as long as you're oK with premature transmission wear, go for it

Brother - you read my mind - once the search was narrowed. . .guess who was getting the text for help. . .funny thing, was going to send you a text this morning but when I went into my phone - your name didn't migrate over (picked up the 4s). . .too lazy to grab my old phone and charge it. . .By the way . . . SHOCKED you're already switching up. . .can't wait to see what's coming on next (already saw you perusing the 19 OEM CLS'

I'm not super serious about the 911 but the bike maybe. I could always use the wife's suv.

I've got enough cars at this point.

You can get a 94-02 Cummins ram pickup for under 10 and pull a house down and get 20+ MPG highway. They tend to last 500,000 miles if you beat on them. Lol Not to mention easy to add a TON of power cheap. If you want an auto you need to find one with a built Trans though. Once built the Trans is a beast. Sticks just need a good clutch if your adding power.
