Bing, by no means did I say he should do it. I hope he doesn't! That trailer would only weight slightly less than the car. Can we say tail wagging the dog?

Kicks, go back probably a couple of pages to it. I was LMFAO when I saw that. Had to show it to everyone I knew.

No way should you tow that much weight. The last Cavalier I had expressly stated NOT to tow with the car, the only way they recommend towing at all is with the 2.4 litre DOHC engine and the automatic, and that is only 1000 lbs. The tranny and brakes are pretty thinskinned on the Cavalier, not designed for that kind of work. Then again, I have a nutcase I work with that regularly tows way too much weight behind his 93. I only hope he doesn't take anyone with him when his number comes up...

 

do you mean this thread?

pretty good example I guess

 

LOL, yep that's the one.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

If you rely on and trust the trailer brakes to do the work for you, please put a notice on your trailer so i know to avoid you on the mountain roads.

If your vehicle can't stop the trailer all by itself, ya got no business towing it. The trailer brakes are there as a safety/ease of towing feature to assist your vehicle. My trailer has brakes, and they work nicely. if they don't, I know my truck will stop the trailer, too. Even in the mountains.
