I know a guy whose a CAD engineer who made some special one off hitches and vehicle mods so that he's been pulling 3500lbs with a compact for over 50,000 miles of road time with no problems. So the vehicle can do it - the question is at the end of the day who is likely to have the mileage advantage... |
Fancy hitches do not change physics. Pulling a 3500 lb trailer with a compact car is dangerous, IMO. Doing it on flat ground in light traffic is OK I suppose, but, it is still asking for trouble. Believe it or not, there are other considerations besides FE.
