Hi everybody!

I am in love with the 2005 and am seriously considering buying one. However, I do quite a lot of scuba diving and am very concerned about the cargo room. The best solution would be to outfit a trailer specially for my scuba diving needs (my wife and me both dive), so we could enjoy the mustang and continue to dive, without buying a more scuba friendly vehicle.
Do you think it would be a good idea to install a trailer hitch on my new mustang, would it spoil everything (looks), is there appropriate room for it? How would it affect the driving when I have the trailer attached?

just curious!

 

I don't think you should get a Mustang if your intentions are to hitch a trailer ......you should get a SUV of some kind for your particular needs.....besides i've never seen a 'Stang with a trailer........that would definately spoil the look...

You should contact a local Ford dealer and ask about this. If you want a sporty car, but also want to continue to enjoy your other sport, then this might be a compromise solution. My son has a BMW and uses a roof rack for his surfboard (he does Great Lakes surfing), and he gets to enjoy both his sports.

 

You can tow with a Mustang, you can also get removable hitches, take it off when you are not using it, the car is back to normal. I don't think the trailer can be too big though, but if it it just for Scuba gear, it doesn't need to be that big anyway.

 

Thanks for your two cents. I'll go with a removable hitch, and I'll be in business. To me, it's kinda stuoid to get a SUV for a few scuba diveing week-ends and vacations, the compromise of a removable hitch works for me. I checked the maximum towing weight, it is 1000lbs, which is more then enough for a small trailer, modified for scuba gear.

Cheers!

 

I don't know if you knew this or not but the back seats in the new mustang fold down giving you a good amount of cargo room from the back seat to the trunk.
you might want to try out filling the car with gear to see it you need a trailer or not .Hate to see you spend money on a trailer and hitch if you don't need it. B)
