    I tow with my 2.4 quite a bit (they're almost identical, 2.7 just has a longer stroke and a little more displacement/power) it'll do it but it's not exactly fun. I haul a 5x10 open trailer with my Ninja and other random tubs of crap on it several times a year (being in college I move around quite a bit from home to school to summer jobs) and travel quite a ways each time (about 700 miles lately). It's slow but I get there. Any amount of load and you'll feel it back there, I also used to tow a 5x10 trailer around town full of mowing equipment and I tow my sea doo a fair amount. Not ideal but it works.

    As for reliability, 2/3RZs absolutely cannot be beaten. They definitely live up to the 22re and fill its shoes wonderfully
