Yes....Yes you can

A mate of mine was on a business trip passing through San Clamente, CA and took this pic. Seems they are a practical bunch on the West coast

There's also a guy that tows a decent sized boat with his, though not very far, but he still manages.

Aquila Eagle used to have one to take spare wheels to track days, so it's been done here in the uk as well. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/385...wbar-to-s2000/

These photos are hilarious. Quad bike especially.

Why does the manual state that you shouldn't tow with the S2000? Increased wear on differential?

I'll shortly be removing my Gladmann Performance Stealth Hitch if you're anybody's interested it will be going in the FS shortly.

- I now have another car I use for carrying my MTB

It's a 1 1/4" receiver that I fitted with a standard UK tow ball.

Fitted it so I could use a cycle carrier, but people in the States use them for towing motorcycles, trailers, even boats!

It's a replacement rear crash bar with a receiver welded in.
