Christopher, I have one just like it used here for sale right now. Semi-fresh red powder coat job. Its in Simi Valley, California for 500.00 dollars. It took a Ford Probe back to Michigan from here with no problems and brought a Jaguar XJ6 back, and you know how heavy those are. If your interested or want to make an offer let me know.

Seems to be tough enough to haul a small EV (they say 4500 lbs, assuming ICE-like weight distribution) Their site looks kinda rickety, but the product looks good. They're apparently located in Portland. --chris Quoting Roger Daisley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I read where some folks have had the bad "wig-wags" when towing vehicles. > > I used to be in the trailer business and we always cautioned people to be > sure that the weight distribution was rearward i.e., more than 50% behind > the rear wheels.
