Cordell Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Common Tyler that is a no brainer. Def not. Not to mention that a 4 cyl pulling an 8 is just hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 some things can suprise you. my 2003 hyundai elantra was in the top 10 vehicles to tow... IIRC, it could tow somethign like 3000lbs. from a 2.0l I4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XChris1632X Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I don't know where you have to take it but I wouldn't tow that across town with an Amigo. Where does it have to be towed? Do you have a trailer? My truck will be down on that side of town sometime later this week but I don't know how much spare time I will have.

Guest tbutera2112 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 well...i wanna tow it to track day since theres no insurance on it i dont want it driven... also needs to get to kia, AAA will take it there but then i gotta drive it home...i guess ill wait until i need to move it and then insure it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I go on Orders starting Oct. 1, but once I get my schedule I should know if I will be able to make it to track day again this time. If I get my new turbo soon instead of spectating I would love to run my truck. If you don't find anything sometime in the next couple weeks let me know and if I am able to make it I'll tow you on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 just use my truck to pull it. it will pull it on a open trialer, the the bed loaded down like its not even back there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 its not the motor moving the weight you need to be concerned with, its having enough brakes to stop thats the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkmaster03 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 According to Uhauls site, my dads 97 F-150 4.6L 4x4 isn't strong enough to pull the Trans Am, but I disagree with that. As far as the Amigo, I wouldn't consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think about taking chances when it comes to towing things, just because it has a hitch doesn't mean it can tow much. Your Amigo might be lucky to do 2,000LBS. Keep it on the safe side and borrow atleast a 1/2 ton truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
