As for towing duties? No, the 'Stang is not for that at all.

Had a Hidden Hitch on mine when I bought it. Would be perfect for a bike rack. Wasn't too bad... I sold on Craigslist for $40...

I have the u-haul trailer hitch on my car. It's really not all that noticable unless you're looking for it. I will take some pictures of it on my car so you can see what it looks like. Not sure if the Roush rear will help or hurt your cause though..

Not to hijack your thread, but for people who say a Mustang shouldn't tow anything, I towed this trailer fully loaded from TX to NY. I was very impressed with how well the Mustang can tow!!!


Don't worry though, the Cobra is my fun car....

Default Hitch!

Ok Thanks for hijacking my thread guys LOL!

Also, thanks for the answer's Azpete and everyone else! Problem solved. With the hidden hitch I will make the Roush rear valance add-on removable (snap on/off).

As for those who shudder at using the stang for towing, these are the following reasons.

1. Fatboy
2. Jet Ski's
3. Off road Quad.
4. Bike Rack
5. MOST IMPORTANT *** Flat bed with stripper pole (for emergencies) in case I get lucky at the local watering hole.***

Regards, ShakenRoush
