Towing with a split bus
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 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.
