I have always wanted to wrap my arms around the science of what the weight of our towed vehicles means to our old lady's that do the work. Yes, I have heard the legends of the "mega" tow (10,000# racing trailer) but I can tell the difference between NO towd, the Suzuki Samurai, or the Jeep Wrangler.
The Sammy weighs 1800# give or take, the Wrangler about 3,600# I think. I don't usually use my Brake Buddy with the Sammy, but do with the Jeep.
I just wonder, if the old gal could talk, what would she say. Part of me wants to hear, "hey, Larry, go ahead and hook up that Jeep, and pack it to the roof....just remember to downshift manually and all will be good".
I use the Sammy as a destination vehicle, but if I needed it to get me home, forget it. I would ask it only to get me to the nearest Enterprise Car REntal office.
Anyway, I love hearing the success stories of the various Towds and have really enjoyed reading the current thread about Towds. I hope everyone enjoys Montgomery, but I will miss the Spring convention and hope to get to Wisconsin in the Fall.
