Default bout to buy a Z...Maybe.

I got a great deal going with a friend about to sell her Z. I currently have a tacoma, and I own a jet ski. Have you guys EVER seen the Zs tow a single jet ski? Is it possible. Please dont flame me....THX

i have never seen it but im sure it is possible with a hitch. i wouldnt recommend it though just buy a cheap old jeep or chevy truck to tow you ski with.

There is a hitch available for the Z... but it is not meant to tow that kind of weight. Jet-skis are waaay too heavy to tow. Not only that, but I wouldnt trust launching a jet-ski from a Z. That has bad news written all over it. Buy an old beater just for the jet-ski if you have to. Or sell the jet-ski and turbo the Z! Alot more fun if you ask me

There is a hitch that one of the members on the board is manufacturing.
I'll see if I can find and link the thread.
Edit: OK here's the link to the thread: https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....50#post2038050
It's a nice set up and show handle the weight of one or maybe two jet skis.

The Z is supposed to tow 1000lbs on a 200 tongue. I'll check that and post the numbers up on that out of the manual.
Edit- Correction 1000lbs tow on a 110lbs tongue weight. 9-17 of owners manual. Your jet skis trailer with one jetskis would probably be under that. Now a waverunner would be a little heavier so the calculation would have to be made for sure.
