Trucking a cart?

Mooncarter · 04-06-2017, 03:34 PM

I tow carts all the time behind a Chrysler Sebring. U-Haul will install a hitch on most cars, including wiring, ball, etc. for around $300-$350. One time expense. Well worth it. I have a truck but a little 5x8 trailer, low to the ground is MUCH safer and easier.

U Haul will only install on cars that the manufacturer has towing info for in the owners manual.
Wife has a 2012 Ford Fusion and the Owners Manual explicitly states:

WARNING: Never tow a trailer with this vehicle. Your vehicle is not equipped to tow.
No towing packages are available through an authorized dealer.

That is correct Kashmir. IDK what type car he has.

I was in search of a hitch for the Fusion....figured with the V^ it would be able to tow the small trailer and buggy....NOPE!

edit: posted after you Kingman. Sorry

Yep, our Yukon XL Denali has just that. At first I thought it didn't have a hitch, but it's hidden to look more sleek I guess.

Small car. V6. Hardly even know it's back there.

My main car has no place for a hitch unless it was put on at the factory. My wife's car is that her car! It's her baby and if l hurt her baby l would be a dead man!

What would be perfect is if somebody would like to take a road trip!

Always been a Chevy guy. Only reason I got the Chrysler is because ex-wife wanted it. Bought it. Gave my daughter the $ to buy it from her mother. Then daughter wants new car so I buy it from her. PAID FOR THIS CAR 3 TIMES! I'm gonna drive it until the wheels fall off!
