Has anyone ever towed a 13' Scamp travel trailer with an xB? They weigh 950 lbs. and I was thinking of getting one for camping.

I dont know that you can safely tow with the xB, if you look under it, there really isnt anything to attach a tow bar/hitch to, and the reinforcement back there is pretty slim.

If you are able to rig something up, lemme know, I sure havent been able to get it to work.

xb states no towing but it's capable of about 1k. so a 950 trailer will prob be over once u add your camping supplies.

go to the local trailer sale's place(they sell reciever hitches) and ask them to do some research and see what they say

950lb would be too much IMO...500-750lb would be better, remember our Boxes can barely pull themselves, let alone a trailer, camping gear and people...

The weight limit in the xB is 800 lbs if Im not mistaken, and although towing is frowned upon by Scion, I think Curt makes a hitch specifically for the xB.

I'm thinking they weigh under 1500lbs but it's only at slow speeds. Plus that one xB had a huge turbo on it.

i have seen a class 1 trailer hitch for the xB on ebay for about 100 before, i dont know if i would tow something like that, i think the most i would tow with an xB is like a jet ski, or maybe a bike but that would be cutting it close, i think i heard beforre that the xB has a weight limit of 850 lbs...
