The short answer is yes: but you would not likely be able to tow anything bigger than a bicycle cart, as most of the towbar frame would be attached to fibreglass, and you would most likely tear the a*** out of the car :mrgreen:

Towing is possible with a subframe that attaches to the chassis at one end and the bumper a the other. I have one, but have never used it, came with a bunch of bits. Heavy, but substantial....
