Curtis makes a hitch they claim is fully enclosed so it will not rust out from the inside. Hidden hitch I would like if it was much stealthier. Anyone have either of these setups?

It's rated for 1500#. I would like to tow my atv onmy 5x8 utility trailer

What boat and trailer combo would be less than 1500 pounds, how heavy are jet boats?

if you want to stay under 1500#, your looking at a small aluminum boat and small outboard, on a lightweight trailer.

Jetboats are much heavier. you may be able to tow a jetski.

What about an inflatable with an outboard? Can they be transported inflated? Are they heavy?

a Corolla will always be a poor tow vehicle. Sorry. I do not even fit inside a Corolla.zombie 2.,m.jpg

Re: Towing with 06 corolla

I've hauled more stuff on a 4x8 utility trailer behind my old '94 Corolla than most pickup trucks haul in their beds over their lifetimes.

A classic 13' whaler is less than a thousand pounds on a trailer. I towed one for many years with a '94 Corolla. Never a problem even with four people + the boat stuff in the trunk.
