a xB pulling a thing is definately unsafe and WAY beyond reason.

 

Doesn't the thing weight more than the xB???

 

No, but my camper was pushing it a little. This was me last week: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...18203660246674
They are about 1500 pounds. No tongue weight , easy to pull, slightly longer stopping distance, but that's to be expected.

hahaha, i wouldnt worry too much, its usualy me and maybe one more passenger at most, a xb fully loaded with 3 really heavy passengers probably has more strain then when im towing.

i load a good amount to balence out the weight on the trailor so when it just right i can move the trailor around by the tongue with just one hand. theres probably maybe like 200 lbs when its bouncing up and down max. the jetski itself can be carried by two people easily and cant be more than 250-300 lbs. thats like two bulky friends in the back. hahahaha

heres and updated pic of my xb and my superjet with its new graphics

 

yea if you shouldnt be towing that... than technically you shouldnt have any passengers in the back of the car either. 2 decent size people will weigh more than that jet ski.

there is no problem with towing with an XB. Just use your head and you'll be fine.

 

Hmm. Maybe I should attach a hitch and put some kind of device on it that says "stay the hell off my tail!"

 

pretty sweet!

 

Buy a front end wrecked xB and use the rear half as a custom trailer.

 

Must be nice to have a Thing. That's what I want to go with the bug. Well, that and a 23 window bus.

 

Or build an 8-passenger stretch Scion ;)

 

Nah 5 Axis already did that.

 

I just realized i never put any photos with my box towind my quad, i got to have some around here somewhere...

 

I know I'm resurrecting and old thread here... but I just started a ning group for people who tow with "small" cars. I tow with my xD all the time. Also towed with my VW Golf and well as my 72 horsepower diesel Benz. Anyway, if anyone is interested in joining/contributing, the site is http://smalltow.ning.com.

 

Cool, yeah I don't tow with the xB but we do tow a small 5X8 trailer with the purple 96' Sentra. I may check that site out.

 

cool!
