Limited Slip bad for towing?

Looking at getting a 2001 20th anniversary edition. 230 km. I think it has limited slip diff. Is this a good or bad thing for towing a single snowmobile? Thanks.

Should make towing on slippery roads even safer, at least off the line.

how about max => bad for towing...

jk, the max ought do fine and the lsd should help in every case.

I just bought a boat and have been debating getting a hitch so i can tow it i would definitely take the hitch off when not using it though! I believe the max recommended towing weight is 1000 lbs with a max tongue weight of 100 lbs, not 100% sure on these numbers though bit i think i'm at least pretty close
