Too Much Torque

Duckinator · 07-10-2018, 06:57 AM

Car has too much torque after ABC stuff, had to put something behind it to keep the tires from burning off!

BourneJack · 07-10-2018, 07:42 AM

Very Nice

Nice ride.I love seeing these cars towing. I don't have a tow package yet but ive been looking at 4x8 enclosed trailers.

Nice, what hitch did you go with? What harness for the lights?

Miko226 · 07-10-2018, 11:37 PM

You can probably barely notice when that trailer is on!

How do these cars tow? I plan on doing some towing my track car with a 330d N57, yet to see anyone else towing a car though

The tow incredibly. Make sure you get the proper weight distribution and don't tow without trailer brakes if you are over the equivalent of a full load of passengers. Execuhitch makes an awesome bolt on hitch, totally invisible. They include a wiring adapter that integrates with the car wiring to let you know if there is a trailer light out. If you go with the wireless Prodigy brake controller, you will need to not use this, but rather a dumb brake wiring interface.

I'd be embarrassed to say or show the boat and trailer I have towed at different times, but our car is rated to tow 4,400 lbs in Europe. Keep in mind the totally different regulations there: Under 45mph, separate endorsement on your license, smarter drivers in general...

Around here, I wouldn't go over 2,500 lbs.

Yeah I've had the same problem. Cant leave the garage becasue of all the torque induced wheel spin.

Westfalia from Matt Whitbred and a no-cut no splice sense system from amazon, works slick.

Westfalia rates us for #3900lbs with #200lbs of tongue. I personally wouldn't mess with over #2500 without trailer brakes.

Car didn't even know my setup was back there, pulled a 600lbs bike the other day and didn't care either.

Still pulled ~28mpg. @ 75mph.

2500# is a good, safe rule for trailer brakes. Also check your state's laws. Here in FL anything over 3000# is required to have trailer brakes.
