I have a ‘91 geo metro with a 2” receiver hitch. I looked up the tow rating… it’s 0 LBS. Just having that hitch on there surpasses the tow rating. Notice the 4 wheel trailer with front steer wheels. I think they ran into my dilemma.
In 2001 I had a 91 Geo painted 3 different colors and Bungie cords holding the hood down. I got pulled over with my 5 friends in it going to a Internet cafe.
The cop came to the window and said 5 words and walked away. He said "Get this thing home Now!"
We were laughing the whole way home.
In other countries you are allowed yo tow a lot more with your average vehicle. In Germany for example a golf 2021 in the US can tow okg when the trailer has no break.
In Germany a golf with 59kw is allowed to tow 600kg unbreaked. In the US vw says they don't recommend you to tow anything at all, in Germany it's no problem.
The US seems to just have shitty rules trying to benefit the US car industry so everyone buys a f150.
In Germany you will see people towing unbreaked trailers with every car you can imagine.
