Probably not! The people on the West side of the Altlantic are reluctant
to tow with anything that doesn't weigh at least 3 tons with a huge V8
engine!

Not all of us. I tow a LAK-12 with factory trailer behind my little PT
Cruiser (2.4L 4-cyl non-turbo). 2000 pound trailer + 800 pound glider +
200 pounds of stuff = about 3000 pounds total. Although I will admit to
not having tried serious mountain towing and I try to keep it under 70 mph.



No wonder we are suffering from global warming!

Right! During the last ice age we had to do a *lot* of towing with our
V8s to get those darn glaciers to melt some.

Makes you wonder how we cope with the small cars we have in the UK and
Europe! I tow with a 1.6 litre turbocharged diesel estate BTW, including
big heavy two seater K21 and DG1000 trailers.
