Ah, nice! You're local too. Details on what hitch you went with and where you had the install done?

I waited patiently for Invisihitch to finally come out with one for the F85/86 and I'm so glad I did, it was worth the wait. We all got our BEASTS for the clean lines and amazing looks and when not in use I didn't want to see the receiver unit and Invisihitch sure delivered what they advertise. No one knows I have a tow bar installed unless it's being used or they are told. First pic is with tow bar installed without the receiver unit attached Second pic is with the receiver unit attached Third is with my bike carrier |

Nice combo!
I have some towing pics as well. As I didnt have my F85 last track season still with my old F15 infront my closed trailer. The other day we rented a larger trailer with room for two cars: a friend's 964 and my 997: Will post pics from the upcoming track season with my 2016 F85 infront. Trips planned to Red Bull Circuit (Austria), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium) and Mugello (Italy) so far. Good thing with the F85 infront: with bad, rainy weather the GT3 with the semi slicks may stay on the trailer and I'll take the M to the track... |

I assume your trailer has electronic brakes?? If so, did you put a brake controller in the M or are you using a wireless controller? Also, any issues with the M sensing the LED trailer lights?

Yes electronic breaks. I did not put a break controller in the M. No issues with the M sensing the LED trailer lights. Works like a charm. Under heavy breaking (did a test stop) you can feel the trailer breaks kicking in helping stop.

All very nice "tow photos." I don't know if it's just me, but I have an irrational fear that whatever I tow will fall off and create a scene. I'd be too nervous driving with something hooked to the car. I'd love to get an ATV and take it to an open space or something. Oh well, someday!
