Towing trailer and glider with a honda civic
Have been towing with a lot of different European and Asian cars, and all sorts diffferent trailers. Have been towing DG1000 in Cobra trailer behind an 1,6l Toyota Corolla without any issues. Have been towing single seaters behind larger cars with issues.
If you have trouble with your towing is it most likely some old and worn pars on the car that is failing rather than the model of the car. What to check is:
- Suspension on the car, with bad/old suspension is problem around the corner.
- Tow ball load, zero or negative load is not what you want. To much on the ball is not good to. It should be in the range 25-50kg.
- Tire pressure. Add 0.2-0.4bar on the back wheels on the car compare to manufactures recommondation.
- Driving speed. Believe it or not driving to fast will get you in trouble, find put at what speed you car/trailer combination starts to wobble, stay below this speed with margin.
