DizzyDale Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Dear CTman,MY guess is there is not sufficent unibody to bolt a receiver to and or the transmission is a weak dog.All that being said you could go to U Haul and find SOMETHING that looks like it will work and fabricate the rest.Good luck and please advise if you are coming to New York as i will stay off the road till you get back to CT.diz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shop Rat Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Ususally there are safety issues if the manufacturer doesn't support a vehicle towing. It is best to not push the issue. Your life, and others lives, could depend on it. Spend a few bucks and rent a tow vehicle for the few times that you need one. Or find a neighbor/friend/relative that has one and pay them to help you. Or buy a "beater" that will do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
