Re: [A/S] hitches...cars,,.trucks



or downright dangerous, speaking of little tow vehicles and even small
but heavy trailers.  even when using equalizer hitches, 
the equalizer hitch is not going to help the proverbial bicycle pull
that airstream and especially help it to stop or control it in slick
and/or windy conditions.

The point is, even with my E350 PSD and Sovereign, I will use my
Pullrite unless it might be to just move it from the storage to my
driveway.  Also, we want to make sure, as I stated in the beginning of
this thread - we are not so much concerned about my or Hunter's or
other big tow rigs and trailers as much as we are concerned about the
lurkers possibly (likely?) generalizing the comments to include
marginal tow vehicles like my Suburban or my Dodge Polara and
especilly little explorers and minivans and such like.
Honestly?  I would hesitate to try to pull my Sovereign with my wife's
Anniversary present - for 30 yrs of loyal service - an '03 Ford
Expedition Eddie Bauer.

I think it is underpowered and the wheelbase is WAY to short!!!

so you big rig guys, (including self) we are not on your case as much
as we are hoping to keep the small car owners (like my wife) from
getting into dangerous situations. with or without equalizer hitches.
You may get away with it for 3 yrs as I did with my 67 Overlander and
my Dodge Polara and you may not.  AS Hunter said, those who do not get
away with it will not be heard from again...
