Sorry I haven't really been following this subject till just now. When I bought my van it had a home made tow bar/hitch assembly on it. I took it off because it was ugly but more importantly my friend told me his mechanic told him that the vans where not designed to tow trailers. Is this true? I imagine with a stock power train this might be true but with a more powerful after market motor and tranny you might be more able? -- ’84 Westfalia Gasoline |
