I donīt think itīs joke.. Probably not ideal but if you are careful
you can tow with just about any car. I have a 1.3L
Fiat Uno and it can handle most single seaters. The hitch is very
close to the rear axle so that together with pumping the tires to 35
psi helps with stability. Proper tongue weight makes a big difference
too.
A Ranger/ S 10 or any small truck is great for soaring!! Plenty of
room to throw dollies and assorted junk in the back and good ground
clearance to get into fields.. I wish I could afford to get one for
flying!...

Juan Carlos
