Towing?

[B none]

I couldnt find anything on it. I am looking into getting a 2007 for daily driving, but every so often to tow a car trailer (with car of course).

originally I was looking at a freestyle but the trannies would get tore up trying to tow with that. is the 2007 ST any different?

that orange truck picture is Bad-@$$ would you say that that tractor weighs as much as a car (not an old boat)?



by thoes towing figures it sounds like I shouldnt have any problems. car= 2500 trailer maybe 1000 extra crap (tools) 1000 hmm.



So I am guessing the trannies in these will actually hold more towing than just once every 4 years. its actually a truck. :-D



someone told me that the honda truck transmission are like glass. which I think is funny because that thing is bigger than the SC. lol



more pics please.

Here is a pic of my Trac "earning her keep". I also have hauled a few cars with my Trac. A 1980 something Grand Marquis, 1996 Escort GT, 1999 Ford Taurus, tons...and I mean 3 1/2 tons (in one of many loads) of scrap steel.

The Honda Ridgeline is a FWD tranny with a drive shaft to the back to make it AWD. The Sport Trac, new and the improved first gen, are a true Rear Wheel Drive set-up with the 4x4 option. Much the same as a real pick-up. I have yet to see a FWD pickup...and I doubt I ever will.

Turboflush, my backhoe setup weighs about 5000lbs. It's just about the max for me. I have the all the mods for this. I'm getting a larger trany pan and diff. cover too for better fluid cooling.

FWD pickups:



VW Rabbit pickups were FWD!



Chrysler had an Omni-based pickup/Ranchero vehicle that had FWD.
