The limit varies by state. I'm pretty sure it used to be 3500 lbs here in California (back when I was doing it), but it's apparently been lowered to 1500 lbs (about 700kg, still under the weight of a TR3) now. But devices to make the brakes functional in a towed car are readily available (if not particularly cheap). https://www.etrailer.com/faq-tow-bar-braking.aspx -- Randall > Quite apart from the mechanical aspects of the car being > towed, what are the requirements (state or federal) on the > maximum permitted weight a vehicle can legally tow where the > "trailer" is unbraked? ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/triumphs http://www.team.net/archive |
