Towing kit advice help
Here's an excerpt from previous post..
For at least 10 successive seasons,, My 69 Dart carried four adults, a kid, a dog, a trunk full of camping gear,, towing a 16' ski boat/motor across the dreaded "Coquihalla Hiway",, and came back from the "Okanagan" with the 16' boat and every spare inch of car filled with fruit,, hundreds of pounds of it, cherries, peaches, apricots., in a Dart,, using air shocks,, for over 10 yrs.. (with 10 inch drum brakes)..
Was that car overloaded,, probably,, was it unstable on the hiway and mountain roads,, never,, did the 10" drum brakes cause a problem on the "Coquihalla" hills,, not with judicious use of the brake, shifter, and a little common sense..
That car and boat travelled thousands of miles to/from lakes/oceans for 2 decades.. (without the fruit).. lol
Would I do it now,, knowing what I know,, in an instant..
hope it helps
