I would like to tow my quad out to the desert a few times a year. Round trip is 300 miles with one big hill to go up. the quad and trailer combined would weigh in at about 650 pounds. The max weight for the car is 930 pounds. Throw my 160 pound self into the equation and a full tank of gas and i think i would be pretty close to the limit. All my other camping equipment would be going with someone else . do you think this will be stressing the car too hard? It will have a brand new clutch before i attempt this.
