    • Jim says:

      The faster you push me, the father I get;
      You’re adding velocity.
      I will go very far, but not as far as that car.

      Mo-mentum!

      Well, if you have a manual transmission and know how to drive, you can tow quite a lot behind a small car. When I moved, I towed a 1180 kg (2600 lbs) trailer 4700 km (2900 mi) with my Chevrolet Optra5 (also sold as a Suzuki Reno or a Chev Lacetti). The curb weight of the car is 1260 kg, but I also had a good 500 kg of cargo in it, too.

      Obviously acceleration wasn’t great, and the load demanded a lot from the brakes, but once I got moving, the 119 hp 2L engine let me pass people going up 6% grades at 100 km/h! I certainly surprised a few people! The trick is to keep the revs high. I did most of the hill climbing between 5 and 5.5k. Gotta love third gear.

      Of course, if I had tried that with an automatic, I certainly would have overheated it, leading to the results this tool experienced.

      • Eating My Wings says:

        Poor guy, man, you take so much shit for one thought-out comment…

      • Anonymous says:

        yeah but the thing is that little car probably doesn’t have much more than around 40-50bhp and that was when it was new

        couple that with the fact that that caravan weighs probably around 2 tonnes, and you have a clutch of fail

      • JC Dill says:

        Getting the rig rolling is easy. Stopping is not so easy. Controlling the rig in the event of a cross-wind or emergency is also not so easy. Just because you got the load rolling and just because you didn’t have an accident doesn’t mean what you did was smart, or legal.

        Your rig’s total weight was certainly over the Optra5′s CGVW (Combined Gross Vehicle Weight) rating. As such, if you had been involved in an accident you could have automatically been found at fault.

        Keep that in mind the next time you think about doing this. Now that you know, you could even be found to be “willfully” responsible, and this would be very bad for you if someone is injured or killed as a result of your bad towing decision. You could end up facing manslaughter charges – the same way a drunk can face manslaughter charges if they kill someone while driving drunk.

  62. ben towing says:

    Towing trucks are used to move vehicles from one location to another without having running the engine.

    Towing trucks are also sometimes called “wreckers.”

    The three main types of towing trucks are hook and chain, axle cradling and flatbed. The type of towing truck you choose to use depends on the reason for towing the vehicle, as well as other factor.

    While hook and chain towing trucks are commonly used for moving disabled vehicles to a repair shop, or towing illegally parked vehicles to an impound yard, flatbed towing trucks are often used to transport vehicles longer distances.

    This can be necessary when delivering a vehicle to a new owner.

    The owners of cars that have broken down or will not run often call towing companies to get their car to the shop.

    Police often call towing companies to accident scenes. Some towing companies have flatbed towing trucks and use flat bed trucks for towing
