My manual says something like 800 or 1000 lbs, but that it is not recommended.

Heck, the manuals wouldn't recommend installing an air freshener. :roll: I say, if it works, go for it!

you can tow up to 950lbs but no more. I looked in to this for I really want a tear drop trailer. I think the smallest tear drop is 750lbs so you can only pack 250lbs of gear to camp with.

How much is the Hitch kit?

I picked up mine for $80. The one for the sedan is a bit more expensive though.

Is your hitch kit factory? How hard was it to install?

i'm not sure i'd want to put a hitch on mine? can the car survive towing even 1000 pounds?

The hitch kit is after market, can't remember the company though. It wasn't to hard to install. You have to remove the rear bumper cover and drill the reinforcement bar then just bolt up the hitch to it. I towed over some pretty rough roads doing 120 km/h and never had any problems. The tongue weight on the trailer was about 150 lbs and the overall weight was about 800-900 lbs.
