Hello,

I am thinking of towing a light aluminum boat & trailer (under 1000 lbs) with my 2000 V40. Anyone with experience? Hitch advice?

Thanks, in advance.

Joe

it should be listed in your owners manual. on the 850, a 2" ball hitch is good for 3300lbs. and a 1 7/8" is good for 2000lbs. not sure about your 40, though. remember, you might need a tranny cooler.
