well, while in europe last week, you should have seen the stuff people tow with their cars....i mean nearly every car had a trailer hitch - the european type, with the welded on ball, and they were on everything....even the smallest of cars...saw a Fiat Uno towing a @15" camper to give you an idea...!!! they really have faith in their cars...or moreso, that's all they have, so when they gotta move something, they just use their own cars, no matter what size. saw a German highway dept. vanagon crewcab towing a trailer loaded down with concrete block...in the bed, as well as the trailer.... pretty impressive... chris |
