I have read about CanAm, and they do mod on cars to make them tow all the time. And when they get done with the car it is a very capabil TV. However. that is thousands of dollars later. It's not cheap to turn a Porsche into a tow vehicle. But with enough money. You can do just about anything.
Plus most of what I have seen them do is with Airstreams, and Airstreams a, brake controler re known for their easy towing.
It cost me $1,800 for a full hitch install with electrical connector, circuit breaker, and brake controller , etc. on a car. That includes everything even tax. I think they quote $400 flat plus materials if you just want to strengthen an existing setup, that's what they did for a friend anyway. What does a car manufacturer charge for a class II towing package .......?
They are a large Airstream dealer, but that is not what most of their cars pull. I believe their most popular was the diesel Jetta's pulling 21-23 foot ultralites. Not sure this year's with the VW diesel problems. Face it, Airstreams are a great trailer to tow and we'll made, and I test drove Andy's personal 300C with a three axle Airstream (yes very nice to pull), but at their 50k entry price point and limited room inside is just not bread and butter. At their last ride day they had 5 combinations up, only one an Airstream.
