[A/S] Re: Newbie Towing Questions
Let's see, GVW of Safari 25C is 6,300 lbs and Club Wagon is rated for
4,700??? Dealer to install hitch, weight dist. and sway??????
Do yourself a favor and research hitches, Weight Dist. bars and sway
control. Letting the dealer do this for you is a mistake. Check out
Equal-i-zer (the brand), Reese Dual Cam, Hensley, Pullrite. Don't
even consider the friction sway control that the dealer is probably
installing.
Remember, the dealer is selling you a trailer that exceeds the rating
of your vehicle, why trust him to give you good advise on hitches,
sway and w/d.
Also, don't sign any waiver that you understand that the trailer
exceeds the recommendations of the tow vehicle. They might slip that
in there to protect them in case of accident.
