Ok, I am a relative newbie here, just bought a new ‘18 SCAB. When shopping, I did not think much about towing as most of the stuff I tow is pretty light . But after reading this thread, I got to thinking; I have a GT350 that I would love to be able to tow. I live in AZ, so driving to Izzy no big deal. I do not have a car trailer and not sure if I could find a rental the GT350 would fit on. But assuming I did, would Izzy’s mod do the trick for me ? Would I need additional help ? Deavers ? I was also surprised at the significant difference in tow rating between the scab and the screw.
A GT350 & trailer shouldn’t be more the 4500-5k no? While I haven’t towed yet w/ my ‘18 SCREW, I will use in August for long road trip pulling 3 seater jet ski, a bed full of gear/kayak probably 600ish lbs + a wife, 4 year old, & 80 lb dobie....while I know it ain’t gonna hurt anything, I HATE the nose high ass sagging look, I hate riding any lower than I need to, & I don’t like the idea of those cushy shocks being squished for so long.
I doubt the jet ski would make a lick of difference, but the weight in the bed sure will, in my old GMC I had over 2300 lbs in the bed a few times (crushed stone/pavers)- zero chance raptor could take even 1/2 that gracefully despite being rated @ 1200
I was going to add eibachs in front w/ +3 Deavers rear to add some height but keep rake. Hoping this would be enough to handle the weight.
Lastly....you live in AZ, I imagine whatever race track you go to isn’t far away. You have a GT350. You’re supposed to do same as us Z06 guys @ Palmer motorsports & Thomson in MA- DRIVE to the course, destroy the krautmobiles, watch their owners meticulously retire their toys to their trailers w/ sad/confused faces, then rip a bad ass burnout & drive right home.
