Does anyone who currently owns a splitty do any type of towing with it? Is it possible?

Thanks 🙂

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply 🙂 How much weight do you think you're pulling in the picture you posted and what size engine is in your splitty?

The trailer weighs around 300kgs and that is a stock weight Bug, around 1000kg all up.

The engine in the ute is a 2007cc with a pair of Dells and a 110 cam. it is an old engine and needs a rebuild.
The power is fine, its just the stock brakes on the ute, not so good, I don't tow very offen with it.
