Howdy,
I may be moving this summer and have found a Uhaul hitch for my '97 Jetta TDI, 148k hwy miles, original clutch in good shape. The class 1 hitch says it has a max weight of 2000 lbs and max tongue weight of 200 lbs.
Here are my 2 questions:
- What can I get away with? Have any of you filled a 5x8' Uhaul with furniture and dragged it ~300 miles with a TDI?
- I have my eye on some vintage cars. Suppose I am reeealllly careful and tow a 3000-3500 lb car on a trailer, during a cooler part of the year, keeping my speed ~50 mph in 4th gear on straight but lightly used 4 lane highways and avoid stop-and-go driving. Am I asking for trouble or have any of you got away with this?
Regards
