I am a new member and am considering buying an Accord. My question is this - I currently have a 1997 V6 Taurus and pull a small boat trailer. The trailer is attached using a Class I hitch and the boat is 14' alum with a 15hp motor. Would a 4cyl Accord pull the boat and trailer reasonably. I use the boat for short distances not more than 15 times a year. I also am 66 and certainly will not be breaking any land speed records. Thanks

 

my car can easily pull almost exactly the same boat. the only problem with cars is how low they are so you might get the car wet.

 

Hello Cj New Member to the Honda Accord Forums..

Your 4cyl ford and a 4cyl Honda can both pull a boat of that size..I looked it up on Reese Hitch on the web..
Happy Boating...

My '96 Accord 4 cylinder with 102K miles pulls 800 pounds of 18' sailboat and trailer with no problems at all, and mileage stays at about 26-27 mpg at 60 mph. The hitch was easy to install.

Find a Hopkins trailer connector it will pop right in you'll be wired in 2 minutes. http://www.hopkinsmfg.com/
