Default I知 in a pickle

First of all, don稚 laugh.
have a 2015 v6. I love her, I wish I had gotten the GT, but I didn稚. We recently purchased a pop up camper AND a boat. My husband drives a truck, which means we can tow one, but we really need a second car that can tow the other. Which means I may have to say bye bye to the car I dreamed of owning my entire life. UNLESS, I can figure out a way to tow the 2400 lb camper with my mustang. Is there anyway to make this possible?!

Let the car keep its dignity and trade it for a truck, if you insist that you need to take the boat and the camper whenever you take a trip. I can't even fathom dragging a camper behind a Mustang, GT or not. Adjust your 'stable' to match your lifestyle. Despite the fact that there's probably a tow hitch available for it, that doesn't necessarily mean that you should do it.

What he said plus, I think if you check the tow capacity of your mustang (or any of them), they are not rated for towing above 1000 lbs. 2400 will destroy the car, It's not designed for it. Buy a cheap beater pickup or SUV to tow the camper. Just make sure it's got the two capacity.

Or, sell the stang and buy a second truck/SUV. No shame.

Yeah unfortunately Derf00 is correct and they aren't rated for anything over 1000lbs.
