Can a ford focus pull a jet ski?
-
i seen someone with a bolt on hitch for thier focus and they said they could pull 2000 with 100 lb tongue weight. i know the focus isnt really supposed to pull anything but i like literally 1.5 miles from the lake/boat launch so i wouldnt be pulling it too far. i dont know how much a jet skit weighs though. i was also looking at a small jet boat, like a 14 ft bayliner? any idea of the weight of that? thank you.

Answer:
I pull my 225 HP Chapparell boat with a Honda Odyssey (2003), the tires slip if the floor is wet with new or old tires. And the car is FWD, it pulls the crap up, not push. And yes, that car should work with new tires. In fact, any car that can spin the car wheels have enough power. Just kidding about the Honda, I use a 1998 Ford Expedition to pull boats up, nice toyo tires push it up, even when wet and little rocks are under it. There is nothing in the back of that car because I ONLY use it for towing heavy things, the Honda was for a U-Haul. Because that Ford is 13 MPG HWY

Charlie is being completely useless, obviously. For that short of a distance, you should be fine -- I just wouldn't recommend going up any mountains.

First, I don't recommend this for any car that has 4 cylinder engine or VERY weak V6. Very close or not, this is not good for your small vehicle in the long run. As for your Ford Focus, you'll have to choose between carrying passengers and gear or towing the PWC. Two people in the car is enough with no gear more than 50 pounds, 4 people and 100 pounds of gear plus pulling a PWC is far too much. Overall, if you want to save gas and still tow something, I believe you need to invest in a fuel economical light SUV or a fuel economical car with a large enough V6 in it. Towing things your vehicle is not meant to do will cost you much more in the long run.
