Towing with an xa ????
I know its not recommended to tow with the xa or xb, but I found this http://search.cartserver.com/search/...ON+xA&GO=GO%21 . I am interested in pulling a 250 lb 4x6 landscape trailer with a 550 lb motorcycle on it. So the entire weight of trailer and bike is about 800 lbs. The tongue weight should be about 100-150 lbs. Im hoping this doesnt sound impossible, after all 4- 200 lb passengers weighs about the same albeit there in the car. Anyone ever heard of anyone towing with their xa's or xb's?
I had a hitch on my Geo Metro. 1 liter 3cyl, 1600 lb car. I towed an 11' sailboat (100 lbs) on a 250 lb trailer.
It added 50 lbs tongue weight to the suspension, and 350 lbs of load to the power train. I felt the wind resistance, but the extra weight was only noticeable if I was already loaded up with luggage. 350 lbs = two extra adults.
Keep the GVW within the manual's specs, and DON'T overestimate your braking or cornering ability.
