this post is off topic.

with flames, and candy, and chit.:dunno:
 
Gas motors are better than diesel motors. Also a V8 is better than an I6 in a full size truck.
 
So I have decided to pull the trigger, im gonna put a tow package on my geo! It gets good gas mileage turns awesome has great tow mirrors and I can roll coal like a mofo, so with being said all just "beef up the breaks on the trailer so it stops the geo too. Thoughts ? :jester:
 
You know I heard about a guy that towed some crazy huge trailer behind a VW Bettle. The whole god dam car was reinfored to tow this trailer, and it had some crazy built motor.

I cant remember who told me this story, but I called bullshit and they swore it was true.
He towed it from Arizona to somewhere every year.

It may have been a NAXJA member that told me this.

Sounds like you and josh will be in the same boat.... You hauling one chrokee with a geo and him hauling 2 with an LTZ

He ill be 9k over loaded and you will be 5k over


Geo has a tow rating of 100 lbs ball weight and 1000 trailer lbs
 
A Geo can handle pulling up to 8500#. It's a very structurally sound vehicle with brakes more than capable of stopping a load that size. The only drawback in my opinion is the SRW, but a DRW setup would have a negative effect of fuel economy.
 
I want a setup like this.
