I was going to say they have trouble on hills without towing, can't imagine if someone ever tried to tow anything with one.

I would consider that a "Not so Smart Car".

Hey you can hack into those cars and get like 600hp per wheel or something!!

However that only works for a limited amount of time before your calling the tow truck lol.

The tongue weight alone would probably kill it!

I was in the mountains here in NC over the 4th and there was a 31' TT being pulled by, wait for it.... a Ford Ranger! :eek: Wow, even my wife said "that can't be, can it?"

I didn't take this, but when I get home I will post more as I took some of this setup.
I saw this at the Costco in Silverdale Washington. I posted it up on the RV.net when I saw about 2 years ago some people thought I made it up until this photo surfaced. :)

Story is here.

Wow, says he drove from NY to WA! No way was he getting 40MPG towing that. I get about half my MPG when towing with my truck.

Yeah I am not buying 40 towing. I should have talked to guy but I had the kids and was in a hurry. Crazy!
