tow weight

[Ldub]

In case you don't have one...
The owners manual advises..."NO TOWING"

But if you want to put another VX in the "salvage pool", I'm cool wit that.
(not speaking to Erland, just re-enforcing his stance)

Guys, I have been watching this tread with interest.
I have been towing caravans, boats, and heavy trailers for the past 35 years.

I love my Vehicross, but would never tow anything over about 3000 lbs with it.

It has the power, but with the very short wheelbase and relatively low weight, it does not have the stability for an emergency stop.
It would be like the tail wagging the dog.

In addition, I had to get an engineer to certify the tow hitch on my Vehicross, as the car is not recognised here in Tasmania. (I have the only one in the state.)
The engineer would only certify it for 1000 lbs without trailer brakes, and 3500 lbs with trailer brakes.

You will get away with towing more - until you have an emergency stop on a wet road.
Then we will all be picking parts off your wreck.

I hope you take this as it is intended - constructive advice.

Regards

Yep...

And in case you're still wondering why a "weight distribution" hitch doesn't work...look at how much wheelbase you have to distribute that towing weight over...
