Bumper pull? Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:35:49 In Reply to: bumper pull, gabriel, Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:39:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Bumper pull??? The Tow rating is for a Saab equipped with a proper hitch, bolted to the chassis, not towing via the bumper.
That said, I have "flat towed" other Saabs using the tie-down eyes for short distances, BUT...
The towed car ALWAYS has a safety rider to operate the brakes and steering, and to make sure that the tow line remained taut (very important, lest it get wrapped in the driveshafts).
Also, I should mention that this is most likely illegal in many (most?) places, and should only be used for short distances.
