I just have a quick question for someone. I was wondering if someone could fill me in on the tow package. I mean what all is in the towing package and how cna I tell if I have it on my sport. I have been told by friends that all the towing package is is a class 3 hitch that comes w/the car. I do have a hitch on the back that I belive came w/the sport when it was purchased new but not sure. Is there anything else that lets you know if you have a tow package. Also how well does a sport w/3.0 in it pull a boat. I have not pulled anything w/my sport yet and am about to buy either a boat or 2 jetskis and dont know how well it will pull. If anyone has any helpful info it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know much about the towing package, but I put a class III hitch on my 2001 MS with the 3.0L V6. I tow a Kiwi lightweight camper that goes about 2400 to 3000 Lbs. depending on how much I load it up. I have found the MS woefully underpowered to tow the camper even when it is near empty. I have tried some performance mods as you can see in the lower part of my post, and I have mentioned more about it in my thread "Jet Performance Module".

i also noticed that the 3.0 feels like it doesn't really "fit" with its transmission. the overdrive is better but it feels somewhere between where it should be and where it is. i get a good feeling when running though the gears from a stop but when it has to "choose" a gear for towing or moderate passing it never seems to get it right. it is definetly not suitable for any "real" towing (over 1500lbs) i think we should take it easy with our smaller engines. i am not however speaking for the 3.5l. i like the 3.0 and as long as i can get it up to decent speeding speeds and is fine for me, jsut my $.02
