That Harbor Freight trailer hitch sounds like a good option for the occasional haul of stuff. I forgot you had this thing. So wish I had a storage shed for something like this. I am not allowed to have a shed in my community.

One of our cars is a Focus Wagon with the ztec 16v engine. It can haul quite a bit of stuff especially when the rear seats are folded flat. In addition to that I have a trailer hitch on two of our cars for towing a 4x8 harbor freight folding trailer. The trailer folds up and is stored in my garage out of the way when not in use. It will carry 1000 pounds easily. http://www.harborfreight.com/1195-lb-capacity-48-inch-x-96-inch-heavy-duty-foldable-utility-trailer-with-12-inch-wheels-90154.html On Thu, Dec 24, 2015 at 11:48 AM, Larry Velez <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I find myself having to ask for favors to haul stuff around because all our cars are small. Today I had to throw out an old mattress and had to ask our lawn guy to take it to the dump for me. I am thinking that if I ever get my MK2 running again I might put a rack on it to be able to transport mattresses and such and the occasional large item on top. I can’t yet get myself to get an SUV which would mostly be wasted space on most days. And from what I have seen most people can’t fit anything inside their SUV anyway and end up putting it on top anyway. What kind of large stuff have you put into or on top of your Mk2? Obviously putting anything heavy would be a no no, like that infamous MK3 Jetta crushed by plywood… but the ocassional ladder, mattress or Ikea run which happens ocassionally would be useful to be able to do with the Mk2. Some of you probably have pickup trucks for such tasks but I have no room nor desire to own a pick up truck. Maybe I just need to get a ‘station wagon’ as my next daily (current daily is an Audi B5 A4). -Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MK2-16v" group.
