Re: [A/S] Tow vehichle 4x4 or 4x2?
Hi Christian....
I would choose this one. I donlt like SUVs as tow vehicles because of their
short wheelbase and high center of gravity. They can get a bit squirrely
even with that light trailer. We used to have a guy on the list who towed a
Bambi with a Lexus SUV and it scared him half to death.
(For those who remember Byron... he fell in love, got rid of the Bambi and
the SUV....bought a HUGE fifth wheel and big truck to pull it)
As for the reciever and brakes..... check out the nearest horse trailer place
or UHaul..... A Reece or Pulltite receiver is what you want.
I donlt know about the 4X4 being too hard on vintage trailers... I have a 4X4
but tow a newer trailer.
