That's not how towing works.... You don't just put a big/torqy motor in something and be able to tow....


That that probably couldn't turn in a 40 acre field

Towing usually isn't the problem.

It always seems to be more troublesome on the stopping end of things.

OEM charger brakes aren't enough for a 1300 lb motor, a 3300 lb car "?" And a boat? I don't understand..

Correct.

My srt-8 had breaks much better than this car and they heat soaked terribly. That's just the 3400lb car. Not to mention adding ~600-800 lbs for a 12v and 5 speed, + a boat which could be anywhere from 1,000 to 12,000 lbs (average ski boat being around 4000-6000lbs)

And the lack of trailer breaks on top of all of that.

Sure you could pull it. You'd just never stop the damn thing.

It's bad enough to throw 8-12k behind a diesel and try to slam on the breaks on stop. Now imagine doing it in something that weighs half the weight and has half the breaking power.
