    Towing with lowered suspension?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Anyone out there use their SQ5 to tow something and have an aftermarket suspension installed? I towed my boat for the first time yesterday with the SQ5 and it was of course much lower than my Pilot was. Curious if anyone has any issues on a lowered suspension? My boat isn't that heavy, I have a Lightning, so total weight with trailer and sails is probably around 1,000 pounds. It's in storage now for the winter, but I guess it would help if I measured the drop from the bottom of the receiver before and after hooking the boat up. Tongue weight is pretty light, we push it around the yacht club to the hoist and I can easily lift the tongue with one hand, so it might not be an issue when I lower the car.

    I've got a lowered SQ5 and I tow my jetski/trailer which comes out to right around 1k lbs with no problem. I took a drop receiver and flipped it upside down to keep the tongue at the proper height to keep the trailer level. You should be fine!
