what model do you have? any mods to help w/ the pulling???i would recommend very min a CAI and possible unichip to help w/ the low end torque for pulling.

Well you won't be winning any drag races. If you have an auto, and you put it into second you shouldn't have a problem at all.

A trailer that size should be a piece of cake. Have fun but avoid Banff National Park and The Crow's Nest Pass.

Do you know what it weighs roughly? Looks like fun. My parents had a very large one that we towed with our Surburban. It was 25' long when fully set up. It was the largest one made at the time, back in 1993.

The Vibe's rated towing capacity is 1,000 LBS if I remember correctly. I could really feel my 700 LB jetski when I pulled it with my Mustang and the Mustang was rated at 190 HP and 215 lb-ft torque. If I pull the jetski with my Vibe, I'm afraid I might not be able to start out on some of the hills around here .

It should pull but take it easy. If you have an auto, make sure don't use overdrive, or it will burn out the transmission. Good luck, and have fun camping!!

What kind of boat do you have? Pics?

Stang2Vibe · Post by **Stang2Vibe** » Tue Apr 13, 2004 5:12 am

Ah, you guys are right, it is 1500 lbs. I was mistaken for my Mustang which was rated to tow only 1000 lbs.

I love boats and right now just have a pair of inflatable kayaks. I went to the DC boat show and what I would like to get someday as a first boat maybe is one of those small sailboats that are about 16', 2-4 person. They are light weight, some under 1k lbs, so I could tow it, although not sure if it would be good to tow once I lower my Vibe.
