Default Re: Trailer hitch

When the Model A was produced there were very few paved roads in the U.S. Roads and bridges were not even dreamt of to carry the 80,000 Lb. loads permitted on today's roads. Even though they are slowly being replaced the bridges built prior to 1920 were never designed for that weight let alone imagined by the design engineers yet they were substantial enough to still be in use today. Was a Model A capable of towing? What has been done and what is ethical are two different apples or oranges.
