No, I'd also take those things off the headlights too.

I wouldn't tow something that big for sure. I have a drift boat that with trailer weighs under 1000 pounds and I've thought about adding a hitch to my Subaru STI (which also isn't recommended for towing). Having a small trailer to carry extra gas, tires, etc for track days would also be nice for my Turbo or my STI. I have a truck I could tow the cars with, but it's an old '77 Ford that gets about 8 mpg and the motor is very tired so towing a car and trailer weighing 4000 pounds is going to really put a strain on it. I don't know if it would even make it up some of the steep hills out here in CO!

Isn't this one of the reasons the Jeep Grand Cherokee was invented/built?

I don't want to sound like an @$$ but that just upsets me. I know we are not all made of money but I'm sure at the least you could buy an old $2000 Jeep beater to tow stuff.

Guess that Cab wasn't quite cuttin' the mustard when "trollin" at the local strip mall....he needed to bring in some reinforcements

I wish him the best of luck on his next outing!

For all who are uptight, I jest.
