Used the Raptor to tow home my 944 this weekend.

325 slow and steady miles on highway 44.

Ended up needing a 2 inch drop on the hitch.

Tow Assist software works as advertized.

Success!

Only just a bit of squat with the car on there, I see. What's that car weight, 2800 lbs or so?

Nice...drivetrain is so much more capable than the suspension for towing,

I was potentially thinking of taking mine down to NC to get a car with a similar curb weight.

It’s interesting how soft the rear springs are. I towed a S550 Mustang which weighed roughly 3800 with a U-Haul trailer on the back of my old Silverado 1500. All it did was level out the truck.

Is it though? It's a truck meant for being comfortable off-road more than for towing. A standard half ton truck has a bit more capacity for weight, and the stiffer ride to show for it.

Wow, very nice! I miss my 944! Seeing this brings back some good memories!

I love the wheels. Turbo right? I bought a 1987 944S in 2001 as my first car. $5k for the car but probably cost me $10k+ after fixing everything wrong with it.

For some reason my dad let me talk myself into to buying it, instead of buying a civic like a smart 16 year old.
