Question 1:
I have a small boat that I'd like to pull behind my 2007 Compass. This car has a class II hitched installed by a Jeep Dealer. The boat and stuff weigh a total of approximatly 2000 lbs. It is my underastanding that a 2007 Compass, with a Jeep approved hitch can pull 2000 lbs. So, I believe I am right at that max allowed. Anyone see a problem with this ?
Question 2:
When I pull the boat I notice that if I'm at a red light and I hit the gas a little too much the front tires spin. I was thinking it was because the boat is too heavy. However, it is at the acceptable capacity as mentioned above. I also noticed my fornt tires spin when I hit the gas at a green light when the street is wet during or after a rain (without the boat). I'm not talking about mashing down on the gas - just a normal accerleration and my front wheels spin. So now I'm thinking it is some other issue and not the boat or the wet street. Anyone out there have this problem with their 2007 compass? Do you think heavy duty shocks would fix the issue with front wheels spinning?
Thanks.
