2008 G35 Sedan Trailer Hitch-Anyone have one on their car?

[boooat]

I have a 2008 G35 Sedan and want to put a trailer hitch to pull a jetboat, total weight 1,600 lbs.

Welcome to NICO!

I'm not sure if you can (more specifically, the manufacture doesn't recommend). However, I'm sure a local shop could install whatever you wanted.

Thank you for the reply. I know the manufacturer doesn't recommend a trailer hitch, but was curious to why? Is it a safety concern, transmission, or engine power? I have 65,000 miles so there is no warranty. I guess I will call a local Nissan Dealer in Orlando.

I would try a local shop that installs hitches...

The cars are not designed for weight on the rear section that a trailer will have. I'm sure a small trailer would be fine (under 1k lbs).

Towing capacity for a G is appx 1000lbs. Just be careful what you use.
