Towing Issues: towing, mitsubishi eclipse, mitsubishi dealer

Question
would it be wise to let an 03' mitsubishi eclipse gts (6 cylinder) pull a jetski (jetski plus trailer weighs just under 1000 lbs)

Answer
Everything I could find says that this car is not rated for towing.  

Contact your Mitsubishi dealer and see what they say, but for now, I would say no, it would not be wise.   But lots of people tow lots of things that aren't rated.  if you keep the weight UNDER 1000 pounds, as much as possible, chances are modest towing would not be a problem.  Just be sure of that weight, don't guess at it.  If you have an automatic transmission, consider a transmission cooler, and for sure, change the fluid as a precaution every year if you tow many miles at all.  

If you will encounter moutains regularly, I would recommend you consider a more appropriate vehicle.

So the official advice is no, this vehicle isn't rated for towing.
