Can these cars tow?

[Ahung12]

I searched, and most results are for how to tow a GT350R and not for my question: How much can it tow, if any? I saw a Youtube vid of someone who towed a Uhaul motorcycle trailer with his GT.

I've got the R up for sale so that I can make room in the garage (and budget) to start tracking my other R (Panigale V4R). But if the car can tow the bike..........

I'm sure it can tow a motorcycle or a small U-haul trailer. My only concern would be the ugly hitch on the car.

It's got plenty of power to pull the trailer, plenty of brakes to stop it, and stiff enough springs to control it.

 

[Ahung12]

Valid concern. I just took a peek at the rear end. Yeah, a hitch would be ugly.

The issue is tow bar installation. The differential cooler hardware will be in the way and the rear diffuser will have to be modified. It explicitly says that you cannot tow with the GT350 in the GT350 supplement.

That answers that.

I see a guy at the lake all of the time that pulls his big jetski with his stang. Been seeing him pull it for several years.

Non Shelby have a towing capacity of 1000 lbs, maybe except Mach1 (same oil cooler issue).

Everyone in Hot Rod drag week pulls trailers. The car is easily capable of 1000 lbs. I wouldn’t go much above 1800 with stiffer springs. Stock I’d stick with 1000 with 1500 on the loaded side. The draw tite hidden hitch is one of the better looking ones. Don’t know how it works with the oil cooler.

There is another thread showing a Draw-Tite hitch on a Mach 1. Minor hitch mods and valence mods and it clears the rear oil cooler.

Going to have a hard time attaching a hitch anywhere back here without getting some cutting tools involved. Wouldn't mind having a small trailer setup for tools and tires for events further from home, but just not really possible with the GT350.

Wow, wonder how much meth he got for all that scrap metal - heck, probably stole the car too and pawned that after selling the metal! That’s a nutty picture, hilarious!

Proper hitch on a Premium 2019 GT for reference... I can see how the Shelby would take a bit of work.

Mach 1/GT500 installation - the diffuser hides the hitch so you could barely tell it's there.

Nice install!!
