Can my car pull a jet-ski?

Question

I have a 2006 kia Rio and i was wondering if my car has enough power to be able to pull a jet-ski, and down the ramp into the water? I know it couldn't pull a boat, but a jet-ski isnt nearly as heavy

Answer 1

Down the ramp-make sure you firmly apply your parking brake before you put the car in park. Up the ramp-put the car in drive and apply enough gas that you can feel it start to pull a little before letting off the parking brake.

Answer 2

One on a single trailer, no problem.

Answer 3

I have a Jet Ski and a Boat and I have never pulled either one of them down the ramp into the water. I have pulled them up the ramp and out of the water.

Answer 4

yes, with no problem

Answer 5

i would ask  someone like uhaul that installs trailer hitches on vehicles. they would be able to tell you if there is even a trailer hitch for that vehicle and what the safe rating would be. the manufacturer of the trailer hitch isn't going to overrate their product. i don't think they would want the liability

Answer 6

Yes with no problem at all.

Answer 7

Sure.  It's the pulling the boat out that's the tough part.  I saw an old Mercedes SL500 pulling a 15' aluminum boat at the launch the other day.  It was strange to see, but he ha no problems.

Answer 8

yep just be careful when at the dock

goodluck

Answer 9

Check the cars owners manual and see what its towing capacity is. The ski is about 1000lbs or less, depending on what you have. Then see if you can get a hitch put on the car.
