    Default Looking at a new tow rig, need your thoughts :)



    I am looking at this new tow rig, it has a hitch, 7 pin plug (so I can run trailer breaks), and even a stabilizer ball. What do you think?

    This was parked outside my office, I could not believe what I was seeing. My question is what are you towing with that? Did you really need the big 7 pin connector? Pretty funny.

    I would love to see the trailer that this hooks up to. It might beable to to a smart car down hill and with a stiff breeze pushing it. I am also stunned that they have a hitch for these, wondering if it had to be custom made.

    I found this http://www.smartcarofamerica.com/for...99/index2.html "The Manual says no towing, but Curt makes hitches for the car and many of us do tow." Manual says no but you should be ok Manufacture does not know what they are talking about. This is so funny to me.

    LOL and no need to strap it down. What might be funnier is the big guy driving a smart car.
