X towing in nh

The boat and trailer weigh 5k, x 3.0 6spd does a pretty good job.

Nice setup! My 3.0 6MT tows great too. Towed a E36 from AR to Ohio and it trucked right along. Long hills required a downshift on occasion, but I was very happy.

Trailer Hitch

What trailer hitch did you install? I have read different reviews about how some are bad for the body. Thanks.

only use an OEM hitch. They are no longer available from the dealer, but they pop up on eBay or you can search junkyards.

My x had a uhaul when I bought it. I looked over the mounting points and it seems well made. Not as good as oem, but strong. And rated for 6k. I've put 7k behind it before and it was great

Pretty close! It's in Alton. Factory hitch. My dealer had no problem getting me one last April. Arrived in a week. Maybe I got the last one.
