I am looking at this new tow rig, it has a hitch, 7 pin plug (so I can run trailer breaks), and even a stabilizer ball. What do you think?

This was parked outside my office, I could not believe what I was seeing. My question is what are you towing with that? Did you really need the big 7 pin connector? Pretty funny.

tow another "Smart" car

I would love to see the trailer that this hooks up to. It might beable to to a smart car down hill and with a stiff breeze pushing it. I am also stunned that they have a hitch for these, wondering if it had to be custom made.

I found this http://www.smartcarofamerica.com/forums/f77/smart-car-towing-38499/index2.html "The Manual says no towing, but Curt makes hitches for the car and many of us do tow." Manual says no but you should be ok :thumb: Manufacture does not know what they are talking about. This is so funny to me.
