Hi Dave:
More Florida real estate info came in the mail tonight. Now, all I need is
a job down there.
As for towing a trailer - I have been using my Saab 9-5 to tow the MGB to
most races on a Trailex trailer for the last couple of years. (Have driven
to & from as well. But, that can be risky.) It's a V-6 turbo automatic.
Trailer weighs c. 850#, car 2200# & add about 200# of tools, parts, etc. in
the back seat & trunk. It tows well with all of that. Max. towing
capacity (ACTUAL, not factory recommended) is 3500#. I'm in process of
looking for a REAL light enclosed trailer for my FL move - also sans SUV.
Lightest one I've found is an Aeroflow 15. 1400#, 15' interior length.
But, that's really pushing the max. capacity.
I've often thought about buying an older Ford or GM station wagon. But, I
don't need another vehicle around here or to move south.
See you in Tampa area one of these days.
