I live in Florida and have had some form of boat as long as I have lived here. I had planned on getting a jet ski since that's all I think a car would be any good at towing. After getting the 6, I checked the owner's manual just to see what the towing limit is, and it tells me don't tow anything with it...ever!!
For you doubters out there I have added a link to page 4-10 of the owner's handbook. It seems pretty clear to me. http://angelfire.com/de2/diesel2/towing_4-10.jpg
I have never even read that before, now I'm wondering why not. I can't even get a hitch for the car, because I am afraid I will void the warranty if the dealer notices it. Has anyone else ran into this issue yet? With 220HP and 11" disc brakes I would think a 200lb jet ski really isn't pushing the envelope here.
The discovery is quite an unwelcome one, since summer is just around the corner. I traded a 4Runner for this car, and sold a pretty nice boat. Every time I turn the key and the dash says "Hello", I still think it was worth it.
