Default Re: Ultimate Tow Vehicle

Well it was a nice story!! But thats it, It was a story!!

I agree there are ways to get a good tow car with out paying all these new car prices!!

But I have been there and done that!! I had a 86 Pontiac with a 350 V8, I added the wide tires and had air shocks put in. Tranny was replaced when I got it and I added the tranny cooler.

Now being a car it is not geared for towing!! it is a car and being such it is geared for Highway driving at high speeds and good fuel millage.

When I use to tow my 17 footer with it, I hated it!! This car could fly 100 MPH with out towing, but when towing it would be ok if you built the speed slow, ands if you came down hill 90 mph to get a go start up a hill you would be ok, But God For bid if you had to start up a hill or that other car coming onto the highway got in your way!!
You would Crawl up that hill!! And on the boat ramp with one wheel drive you would spin the **** out of the tires getting up the ramp!!

So unless you want to change the gear ratio and add posi traction stay with a truck or van, you will be better off! and lets not forget the leaking air shocks!!
