Is my GS400 or LS400 strong enough?

Default Is my GS400 or LS400 strong enough?

Question guys? I'm thinking of buying a boat (pictured attached). Weight is about 3,500. Which car could pull this kind of weight without permanent damage? GS400 or LS400

Thanks,
Ernie

Whats up Ernie??? How are you? I do not think the GS can have a hitch mounted to it. Check out your rear bumper, there is nothing behind it.......I think you would end up looking like one of the early 90's Mustangs where they cut a little square right through the lower area of the rear bumper..Have you seen that before, its GHETTO.....Also, the owners manual for the GS HIGHLY DISCOURAGES any towing.....Not sure about the LS...

Chris,

Thanks for the quick reply. Recruiting business is still slow - I'm ready for the year to end and start fresh and hopefully companies are ready to hire some people. How are things in Austin? How is your girlfried? Tell her Maddie says hello (picture attach). When are you guys heading this way? When you guys do let me know so we could do dinner? I'm also selling my custom bike -- American IronHorse ($18K) if you know anyone.

I'll check with Jimy at Davenport regarding the tow.
