Another option to tow a vehicle is to use a "TOW DOLLEY". This method eliminates the trailer weight (since there is no trailer). It does put wear on the towed vehicle's tires. For a Race Car, you could just put on some junker wheels/tires on the street contact axle. Just be sure the "drive axle" is on the Tow Dolly itself, and the free-wheeling axle in on the pavement; or "disconnect the drive shaft" at the differential (otherwise transmission problems may occur).
So from what I'm reading, general consensus is 'nothing over 3500lbs', correct?
Go by Trooper RS specs: 500lbs tongue/5000 tow.
1982 Porsche 928: 3500 lbs.
uhaul car transporter: 2210 lbs.
you might think it was pushing it a bit, but 350+ miles loaded, zero issues.... that was about 50,000 miles ago.
I just trailered a ford escort wagon (has to be at least 3200 lbs) for friend last weekend, now with my own trailer (maybe 1600 lbs) now with 175,000 miles on the truck, still ZERO issues... not bumpy, no "light front steering/bouncing," nada, nothing, zilch...
the vx is a champ in all things, plain and simple... :bgwg:
