Trailer hitch on the Boss?
has any done it yet? or know of any reason why it can't be done?
I'm thinking that pulling a small track trailer for wheels / other gear for track events....
I'm also thinking that, because I'm loving driving the car so much, that I may need a way to haul bikes around and I use one of those nice Thule T2 hitch mounted racks to shuttle my mountain bikes around on another car. I'm beginning to think that this boss just my be my do-absolutely-everything-car...daily driver, kid shuttle, track car...all of it!

I just installed this one on my '11 GT/CS. Simple and easy job. About 45 min. on a lift. Use it for the bike rack and wheel chair when the wife needs it plus a small trailer.

Don't sweat it if you don't tow something big. I have a trailer hitch on my '64 Falcon convertible and it towed a dirt bike trailer fine with three bikes and three of us in the car.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I've seen plenty of track dogs tow their spare gear along.
I've been contemplating putting one on one of mine just for the use of a good bike rack. Bringing tires to the track would be a plus.

I would not do it, besides warranty issues you have to figure they say NO towing with the Boss for a reason. Will you hurt the adjustable suspension or something else? I think it would be best to find another way even if the load is light.
I understand where you are coming from because I like to bring all kinds of crap along for a track day. That is why I trailer the Boss even if the track is close. JMHO I know everyone does not have access to a car trailer.
