I'm posting for a friend, and I have done a search and not found too much on this topic. I realize the manual says the tow load limit for the G35 is only 1000 lbs. Has anyone pulled more than that, and have any issues appeared as a result? One of our better trailer hitch places has offered to put a Class 1 hitch on the car so long as the owner swears he will not put a tongue load of more than 200 lbs on it, and the Class 1 hitch is good for 2000 lbs. Just wanted to get any experience that may be out ther on the forum. My friend wants to pull a camper that weighs almost 1900 lbs on a very long road trip.

 

Better Idea:



or

 

I would not tow 2000lbs with a G...

 

Oh my God, WTF are you thinking?????????

 

 

Don't do it

 

Owner's manual is there for a reason (believe it or not). This will almost certainly end in a "I did something stupid and ruined my G" thread.

 

It is a CAR with CAR suspension. It was not designed to drag 2000lbs along.

Rent an SUV.

 

Transmission = toasted.

 

Your not finding a lot on this topic, probably because NO ONE would do this!

 

That's what I was thinking, good luck with brakes too.

 

Transmission, brakes, and the fact that it's a Uni-body construction vehicle and cannot take the loads like a full-frame truck or SUV are reasons why this is not a good idea

 

not to mention that the tow hitch is bolted to an aluminum bumper brace that will twist and fatique all to hell with that much weight

 

lol funny thread

 

I get worried with my 2 bikes on my car, never mind a camper.
