Question:

Hi , Im wondering if I can tow a wave runner and trailer the wave runner is approx 650 lbs . single trailer not sure of the of the exact trailer weight ? It is a 2010 mustang 4.0 convertable very low miles . also how low is the hitch to the ground. Would I need to put air shocks on it to lift it up ? I have a GMC Sierra that I can tow it with but Im just wondering if I could use the car instead . Thank you for your help

I looked up the owners manual for a 2010 Ford Mustang and it states it is rated to two up to 1,000 lbs. There are no air shocks available though you should not need them; when we installed the Curt hitch on a 2010 Ford Mustang it was more than 11 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver which isn't super high but is definitely okay to tow with.

We do have the hitch, wiring and rest of the set up you need in order to tow if you'd like. Here are the parts you'd need for your 2010 Mustang:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11048
- T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118487
- Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521
- Curt Class I and II Pin and Clip # F-4
- 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # A-80 or 2" Hitch Ball # A-82
