Thinking about adding a receiver hitch so I can tote my bike around.

Has anyone added a receiver hitch and if so, what brand? I found a Class I Curt round tube for around $190 that’s a bolt on install.

Tongue weight is 200lbs which is plenty and max towing is 2,000. Does anyone know the towing capacity of a 16 GT, manual? Have a jet ski as well... lol.

I don’t recall where I heard it, but 1000-1500 pounds is the limit...
I had a “Hidden Hitch“ brand on previous cars with good results...not sure they exist for Mustangs, but here’s 2 other good brands...one is probably the Curt you already saw....

I have towed several things with my old Dodge Stratus RT-V6..it actually towed really well with the low profile tire kept everything stable..never did it with the Mustang! Etrailer is good to deal with from my experience, they also have custom wiring bundles if you do tow a trailer...
