There is a recent thread on the hitch for coupe. There were some warning, especially about launching boats and getting pulled in down the always-slippery ramps!

G35_TX pulls his 1100 pound honda jet ski with his sedan. Pics are in the aforementioned thread. Do an advanced search with the word hitch in 'title only.' You should find it easily.

But a sedan is not a coupe

Hi, im new to the forum. I have a 04 Coupe for a year now and i LOVE it, but i just recently got a Jet Ski (becuase i got a great deal on it)and i want to pull it with my G. I know what some of you might be saying are you nuts?? Or get another car? But what if i really love the G35 and don't want to change it, and unlike some other members i don't have a wife with a SUV to do the job. I think the car easily tow a PWC. Are there any hitches out there for the G35 coupe that are not so big and ugly looking, i want something small that you could varely see. I check with a couple of shops in the MIAMI area but none have it for the G Coupe. Any ideas? Thanks

Buy a POS truck for $3-5k and not worry about messing up the G. It's not realistic for a G to tow anything, they are not made to do so. You could probably buy a hitch for any car, but that doesn't make it safe for the car to tow.

Whoa, I tried everywhere today to get a hitch for the car. NOBODY has it (no even the dealer), and even u-hault told me that if they had it. They wouldn't do the electrical. That sucks. Well i think for now I will take everyones advice and not tow it wit the G, I guess I have to depend on friend that would let me their truck. I love my car to much to trade it for another car, just to tow a ski.

Whew, I can wipe the nervous sweat from my forehead.

Nothing like have a rear drive only car, with CAR tires, on a steep ramp covered with sand under the water. Sheesh.
