Spotted Gen2 towing a BOAT

Spotted Gen2 towing a BOAT

Postby wkbrdr91 » Sat Apr 03, 2010 10:28 pm

So, today while i was at the ramp (like a lake ramp) I saw a Silver 2007-2008 Solara convertible pulling a boat!! Funny thing is this is the same boat i have been wanting, as its cheap and light, and i had hoped my solara was enough to possibly pull it just a couple miles down the (flat and straight) road, if i put in air bags to help suspension, transmission cooler, custom trailer setup, and drove it VERY carefully (and could prob have them launch it with a tractor once i got to the ramp). but heres the boat i saw it towing down the road, my girlfriend was on my boat while i ran to the store to get a new battery for the boat (it died) and she said she saw the solara pulling it out of the water on the ramp

Probably takes a v6. Check your owner's manual.
Trust me, I'm a technician.
