<< hello,
 the last few messages about hitches begs the question, what is the
 towing capacity of an 87 syncro gl? could it handle a small-ish uhaul
 trailer? tia, >>




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...
