Towing a single place glider trailer with a Ford Ranger or ChevyS-10
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.
OMG!!! You tow a LAK-12 trailer with a PT cruiser!! I briefly owned
a LAK-12 and I gotta say that trailer is an ornery beast due to single
piece wings on a 20 meter ship. The trailer is as big as a
racquetball court. And what a beautiful ship the LAK-12 is. The
trailer has a very high profile I think so it can navigate polish
muddy farm fields and is so long that it dwarfs other trailers at the
airfield. I'd be afraid it would get a mind of it's own on tow and
decide it was going to make the decisions about where it was going.
But with an attentive driver going slowly, aware of winds etc. you
could tow just about any ship I'd think...
