ggzilla Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Icehouse was just telling me how a 510 could tow a boat...I countered that you don't need such a big car just to tow stuff. Go the mighty Datsun 1200! Quote Link to comment
fiveoneohray Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 wow! I dont know if the wow is for the actual towing or the fact that its a 1200 wagon. I have never seen one in person. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 the po of my 4 door used to tow his small boat with my 510 it still has the hitch on it Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 that's a good way to end up jacknifed in the ditch. Just going down a hill would be dangerous. Just because it can pull forward doesn't mean this is a good idea, kids. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 true i left the hitch on for extra rearend protection Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 You should have put the 510 a little further back to get a lot that weight off of the the tongue. scary :eek: Quote Link to comment
Roostmonkey Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ya man that looks scary. the trailer prolly weighs more than either of the cars.I'd ditch the trailer for a dolly or park the 1200 until I had a real tow vehicle. On the other hand, I cant wait to haul my 510 to the track with my sons SR20det 521 pickup.My trailer only weighs 925 lbs and the dime should be around 1800 lbs. With discs all the way around on the 521, it shouldnt be too hairy. Quote Link to comment
fiveoneohray Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Oh it gets hairy! I have been towing 240sx's around with my truck with a dolly and its alot of work to keep it from jacknifing around corners. A dolly weighs nothing and a 240sx weighs 2660lbs. so be cautious.
