Default Re: Which Car-Like Vehicles Can Tow a Model A?

Weird how 'mericans need super heavy trucks to tow a car. We get by with a tandem (or single axle, but i don't like them as much) trailer and a little old hilux.

A decent odyssey should tow one.

Perhaps because Americans can do an internet search - comprehend tow ratings.

Perhaps because Intelligent Americans would not pull a loaded car trailer
on a public road
with a tow vehicle rated at 3500 pounds.





Perhaps because Americans exercise “ common sense “.

Better yet, so many think a $80k plus F250 with high rise suspension is needed to get groceries,
BTW, I am pleading Temporary insanity from your avatar.
