Towing ...

[mindaugas]

Thanks Kat for the info, I was wondering about the manufacturer because I got Dutchman through a google, but nothing on their site. I wish the price was more in line with popups though. I suppose I should just go to a dealer, and see how the external shower on a popup works, maybe it's not that bad. Regular camping, I'd be fine without it, but I'd love something I can bring on regular trips.

I didn't Mean to say wether or not the manual said that the VX should be towing.
Mechanicly speaking if a Ferrari can tow a trailer (I have seen it done and it looks so stupid) a VX certainly can do it...

If you look at all the donner vehicles that make up the VX, the trooper, rodeo, and even the amigo (for a wheel base to compare to). You can find tow data on those vehicles, but you have to take that data as a guide only.

If the manual says don't tow with the VX they have a reason other than mechanical limitations in mind

I was trying to clearify the second half of the question the being towed part. As for being towed short distances limited tows aren't good but nessesary at times. just dont make it a habbit.

I recently bought a small toy hauler, the KZ 16FKTH. I pull it behind the VX, so far with no problems. Last trip was in 100 degree heat to Austin and back. This trailer only weighs 2000# empty & has only 330# tongue weight. It was built for V6 SUV's to pull. I haven't hit any mountains, it would be slow going. There is no mistaking there is a load behind you! I take it easy and go about 60-65 MPH. As I said...so far so good.
