youll have fun trying to get up hill lol. The car barly has enough power to move itself an extra 1000lbs might be a bit sluggish

if you do tow soemthing u gotta put a pic up. but i dont think you are gonna get to far. ive got a wrangler 4cyl and i tryed to tow a lawn mover and a mini bobcat. i got down the block and called my little bro, to tell him i need his truck, the wrangler souldnt pull it, i dont think a gs will pull anything but it would b funny to see

I think with a small trailer and lighter items like furnature and garbage or something you can do. Because we use my fathers old integra to tow a trailer with stuff in it and it doesnt have much of a problem and that car doesnt have any more HP than a 420a

what would you hook the hitch up to? and 4 cyl jeeps are pu$$ies, my friends brother used to have one and it was slow as *****, i would think a gs could pull more than that haha
