Is it safe to tow a Freedom trailer with a 2020 F3-S? Why doesn't BRP sell a hitch?

[Terrance]

Are all the SCS/TCS/HHC systems on the F3 S going to work as advertised with a trailer hanging off the back. I don't want to end up in Limp mode after I have bought the F3 S, a hitch, wiring and a trailer.

This is the nature of the dilemma. I absolutely love the looks of the F3 S,

and 80-90% of the time it fills the bill as it comes off the showroom floor. Maybe some kind of removable windshield for wet or cold weather. Most of the time I would be riding and have the cowl on the back. A bag strapped on to the passenger seat or a bag on a Lamonster rack would be ample for all my carrying needs when going solo.

However for the long trips and camping vacations with my girlfriend I would really like to have the option to pull a trailer to be able to take along all the gear.

The F3 T is okay

and already has bags for some luggage and some creature comforts that do have their appeal. It comes ready to install a BRP hitch and pull a trailer and it is, CALIBRATED FOR TOWING (whatever that means). To my eye, it does not have the visual appeal of the F3 S, it is a distant second though I may end up having to go that route.

Yes I have thought of wrapping the frame in orange and replacing the handlebars and grill with the F3-S ones but the total price keeps going up and I really don't want to come out of retirement to fund my habit.

The BRP hitch only fits the F3L/T and/or the RTs. The F3 and F3S were not designed to tow. That said, there are aftermarket hitches you can buy to put on the F3S. I do not know if the safety devices are affected if you install a hitch.

I have seen after-market Hitches for your type of swing arm ..... IMHO there is no reason why your F-3 S won't be safe towing a Max load of 400lbs. same as all the Rt's ...... Mike
