Towing capacity on an fx45 is 2000 lbs. — NOT a good idea . — Hoss

You could tow a lot of boats with several small vehicles. Is it safe? No! Would I do it? No Way! I have towed with a lot of different vehicles but I like the way my full size pickup handles the whole process.Dan

Trade in the Fx45 & you could probably buy a Puma & a truck to pull it… lol..13 PIV w/ 200 MercIG: WarriorRiverCustomRods

If I recall correctly the FX45 has a continously variable transmission (CVT). Your Puma will fry that thing. Not to mention how its gonna feel when you get to the first stop light and your Puma pushes you out into the intersection. Not a good idea in my opinion.

No problem pulling it, now stopping it will be another story.

Appreciate all the input here. I currently tow with an Excursion. Picked up an FX45 last week, and was just wondering about others experiences.Tow rating on the 05 FX45 is 3,500. I know the cat and trailer would tip near 4,000. Ill just stick with the Ford. I2D
