Hi,
I have an automatic xB. I see in my manual that I shouldn't tow something. What is the reason?

Is that tow NOTHING at ALL? Or most things? I've always wanted a pop-up camper and see that they have little ones for motorcycles. Could an xB pull one of those? Seems like, if a cycle could pull it, I could pull it. But as I say... what's the reason we shouldn't tow something?

 

manual means to say tow nothing. it's more a recommendation

it's all a safty concern and liability really... i'm sure it can handle a motorcycle's camper, just as long as it is within the xB's load limits then it'll be fine..

but xB's as they are, are pretty weak uphill too.. so.. just food for thought.

 

this is "rallying the scion" on his way to alaska and there are some mamoth mountains coming to ak. so i think you should be fine but you might want to check in on the warranty if you still have it, i think it might void your warranty if you tow anything with your xB

 

I used to tow two jetskis with my first one... the hard part was gettin them out of the water... but it was fine, even here in with the Florida heat

 

What are those boxes on the trailer?
What hitch do you have?
What light hookup do you have, and how did you connect it?

 

those would be questions for him not me, his username is "rallying the scion" he is actually selling the trailor but it is in alaska so that could be a problem hehe. anyway im sure he would answer your questions.

 

I'd try and stay at 500 lbs or less on the trailer tho.

 

do you think it would be able to pull a crf450 (aprox 250lbs) with a 5x8 foot trailer?

 

a crf should be around 230


weigh the trailer it should be fine. key word is SHOULD

 

awsome...it would be in rare cases but i probably will do if I dont have another veh. thanks for the advice!
