What year is your car, and how much total weight are we talking about?

Mustangs are not really good to use as a tow vehicle. If you keep the weight under 1000lbs it is probably OK, but honestly I would not recommend towing anything with one. I know the owners manual in my car states to not use this vehicle for towing a trailer of any kind.

I tow our jet-ski all the time with my car without a problem. Its a 2006 sea-doo rxp 3 seater so its actually one of the heavier jet-skis. Just accelerate slow and dont try and go 80.
