if it were me,, i would beg, borrow, rent or steal a hd pickup,, (a real pickup!) 3/4 ton minimum.
funny how this topic just popped up, i just read yesterday in one of our automotive trade journals
in the 1970's seventy percent of automobiles sold in this country were rated to tow 2100lbs
today in 2008 the number is a staggering 1% that are rated to pull 2100lbs!!!
i am thinking the little jetta just ain't up to the task,, it may very well pull the load, but that is the easy part
the tough part is that ton or better shoving you around corners, down hills and worst of all
shoving you into a corner while going down hill!
brakes are another issue, the little car's brakes are probably adequate to tow and stop on relatively level ground
especially if you plan ahead,,, but coming down a long decline they will overheat and fade out,,, then the fun begins!
the last thing you want going "through" your mind is the listeroid! if you get my drift?
and lastly,, why not go for a s195 or 1115 changfa?
for the life of me i cannot understand the advantages of a listeroid over that of the changfa's
1. quieter? ok yes,, but that can be rectified
2. slower speed? yes,, but that is not always an advantage
3. longer life? maybe,,, but that is yet to be proven
4. cool factor?, ok i will give you that one
for every advantage the listeroid has over the changfa,
changfa has a half dozen advantages over the listeroid!
i just don't get it?
