Will the odometer run up mileage when you flat tow?

QUOTE(76-914 @ Apr 25 2017, 07:07 AM)  I would say the advantage of flat towing over driving would be the peace of mind that "if" your teener takes a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) 800 miles from home you can still get it back home!

Home Depot is where I got the stretch wrap. It might be 18 but definitely not your handheld stretch wrap roll. In fact I'm getting ready to flat tow my car again today because I have to be out of the garage that I'm in it is decided it doesn't want to run. Just not enough time to fix it.

I can weigh tomorrow but its 3/8" steel so my guess is about 8 lbs.
I looked at at reinforcing the bar by adding some angle bracket but 3/8 inch engineered out nicely. Besides I didn't want anything else to be able to catch on obsticles, as the car already sits fairly low. These are sturdy. |
