Looking for a good way to tow a small boat with a 92' Loyale.

[Slagathor1]

92' Loyale A/T 4WD. I just need to tow a rather lightweight 12 foot aluminum fishing boat & trailer. I know the car won't pull much & the back end won't tolerate a huge amount of weight but this boat won't be a problem. Heck I can pull the boat & trailer across the yard by myself. Suggestions, weblinks, diagrams, pics. Any of this may be helpful. Any suggestions from folks who've added a hitch/towbar etc. before??? I would rather not weld it on anywhere, that'd be my last option. I'd rather bolt it on if possible but i'll take suggestions of either way.

External transmission cooler and make sure your brakes are up to snuff.

My hitch:

built about 18 years ago.

Overkill? Yes. Cost? <$40.00.

the last time i looked up a hitch for an ea82 subaru the price was some 175 for the hitch install and labor. the part itslef would be 119.95

 

it basically would bolt up to the tow hook points, with new bolts.

 

there would probably be 2 models, another one goes between the bumper and the frame(this would be strongest)

 

i install hitches at u-haul. if you need wiring you will need the 3-wire converter to convert botht he turn and brake to one wire. it will install behind the left taillight and the green wire over to the righ turn.

 

the heavy duty trans cooler is 80 bucks and there is a 40 dollar model, you could put that on yourself. the kit comes with hose, clamps and mounting hardware.

 

if you call me at work (608-221-4277 u-haul east madison) i can ring you up a quote and give you the parts numbers and you can have your local u-haul order it for you. i will be working on thursday

 

the hitch would ba a class one 2000 lbs, the small boat would be fine and probably would use a 1 7/8 ball
