What the.........!!! That I would have loved to see, just not be in the car though. I'v honestly NEVER heard of such. I've also never heard of a Taurus w/ a "trailer package". I thought the only trailering option on a Taurus was Class I (2000#) I've had plenty of Tauruss as my company cars and would never dare tow a 23' anything, especially a SeaCraft.

How many blocks....I mean miles did it take to a dead stop from 60 mph???

Front tires smokin' at the launch pad?? I'd pay good money to see that retrival!! LOL!!

I actually got more braking action from the trailer that from the car, it seems. The car had a large combo engine-oil cooler and trans-oil cooler in front of the AC condenser, a 2" receiver, and adjustable air bags inside the rear coil springs controlled from the dashboard. The reason I called it a factory tow package is the car was a law-enforcement vehicle before I got it, and the rear bumper cover was molded around the receiver, instead of having the receiver below the bumper. Either factory tow pkg or aftermarket bumper cover.

The only ramp I ever launched the boat from with the Taurus was at US 19 and the Withlacoochee barge canal, with 3 or 4 successful launches and retrievals. No problems pulling up the ramp, even when the ramp was wet. It's a pretty good ramp.
