Lots of AWD drive cars tow. A lot of SUV and all Subaru, including my little forester are AWD and can tow. Not saying its good or bad for the Evo. I don;t know. But I know the comment "you can't tow because its AWD" is assinine. Absolutely nothing to do with anything. Maybe other issues, yes. But being AWD has little to do with it.

I really don't see why there would be a problem, unless you tried to tow something too heavy or expect the car to handle well while towing.

Mitsubishi just informed me that your warranty is voided.

I just looked in my manual and it says to not tow anything. there's a silouette with a car with a trailer and a big X over the trailer.

I am the one with a custom hitch from echardt trailers and it is fine.... Use it for my mountain bikes and such.... they spent a lot of time putting it together and i have no problems so far... jet ski is okay.

Large boat.... you got to be on crack! A little common sense goes a long way. If you drive your evo slow and pretend it is a uhaul you would probably be okay... not a promise but based on my experience so far at 8800 miles with a gt40 turbo etc upgrades i can only tell you for myself- no problems so far.

Warranty? what is that anyway with mitsu. Between the garrett gt40, hard pipe kit, mbc, fuel pump upgrade, avo intercooler and bov and rps clutch with a 8 lb aluminum flywheel, i am not too concerned! Driving a fairly modded evo at 400 whp complete with a hitch and matching recaro baby seat has me have laughing on a consistent basis... sleeeeper

here is a pic...

Here is a pic... sorry about the dirt but I have been busy putting on the progress sway and testing the car. It actually isn't too bad clean. works great with my custom bike rack too.... beats a yakima or any of those roof racks for running up a canyon with 2 bikes on the car.

I can't wait till we run sol next month... hitch and all and i get to hurt a bunch of porsches' whining about that funny red japanese family compact with a hitch no less that ran them off the track
