Can my 2003 Chrysler Sebring pull a Sea Doo sportster (small jet boat)???

Question

We just got a seadoo sportster boat. Can my car pull it or do we need a truck?

Answer 1

That's a good question and depends on several factors! How far are you towing, how fast, any hills?  Virtually all American front wheel drive cars have low towing capacities, most are around 2000 lbs and not designed as tow vehicles.  You will need to find out what the boat, trailer, and all you gear will weigh and compare it against the gvwr on the car, my guess is your very close! If you are within the limits and NOT towing HARD you should be OK. NOTE, any vehicle car or truck that tows anything for distances of more than 5-10 miles will need a transmission cooler. This you can have installed at most transmission shops, they cost around $150-250 installed and will save a transmission from one of it's worst enemies...Heat! Good luck

Answer 2

Only if you have a trailer hitch.  May sound stupid but if you have ever been to Arkansas you would understand why I say that.  Your hitch should tell you how much you can tow...take a look at it.

Answer 3

Answer 5

Most cars can pull a couple thousand pounds. But to make sure, check the owner's manual for towing capacity.

EDIT: The towing capacity for the '03 Sebring is 1000 pounds based on this site: http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z6555...

EDIT #2: According to http://www.seadoo.com/en-US/SportBoats/2... , the Sportster weighs 1450lbs.

So to sum up my answer and all my edits. No. It is not recommended that you tow a SeaDoo Sportster with a Sebring.
