Re: Towing

Sure, why not? Just make sure you put a good solid hitch on that thing...

Re: Towing

There is no reason not to. Just make sure you abide by all the limits set forth by the manufacturer. This means tires weight limits, gross axle weight limits, and the gross combined weight limit. A lot is going to depend on if you're talking a cutaway based on a van chassis or a short medium duty chassis.

Re: Towing

Pay careful attention to the hookup of the tow bar.....it should be dead level when hooked to rig/toad.

Why? If the bar is high up front, then there's more risk of the tow rig stopping hard and the toad folding the towbar UNDER the tow rig.

The same thing might happen of the toad is towed with the tow bar low in the front....the toad might climb the tow bar and end up on top of the rig's bumper.

Google the Blue Ox website for more info; yeah I'm being lazy here, but so is everyone else.
