Car/Truck to pull glider trailer
Subaru Forester fine for single seaters.
But I wrote off my 2004 with a trailer
jackknife pulling a Puch.
Hadn't yet read "If the combination starts
to sway, hold the wheel straight and
brake..."
I've seen a DG-1000 giving a pickup a
hard time. Traffic was scared to pass it
as the trailer was weaving.
My 2008 gets better mileage pulling a
fibreglass top trailer than an metal top.
If you go for a car instead of a truck,
consider a manual.
A CVT might be an expensive experiment.
North American tow ratings can be much
more restrictive for the same vehicle
compared to Australia or Europe where I
wouldn't be surprised to see a Smart Car
pulling a glider.
