towing V20 w/explorer

[bigshrimpin]

Labii,
* * I just moved my boat 35 miles yesterday with my "new to me" 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. *The Rodeo came with a uhaul class 2 hitch (rated at 3500lbs) . *I was going to take it off, but I thought I'd talk to the local uhaul dealer first. *He told me that the hitches actual limits are above the rating that they print of the sticker and as long as your within a few hundred pounds of the limit then you "should be fine". *So . . . last night I tested it out. *I hooked up the boat . . . jumped on the tongue of the trailer a few times before leaving the lot (probably not that smart, but the hitch seemed rock solid. *So I circled the block 4 or 5 times and then headed to cambridge towing the boat. *I hit some great pot holes along the way too and arrived in cambridge without a "hitch" nuk nuk nuk. *
