Best Way to Tow

[69RoadRunner]

Last weekend, I towed our Ford Taurus X 4 wheels down. I took the out-laws, so I need seating for 6. Lots of Fords can be towed 4 wheels down with a tow bar. They're American made and they didn't take welfare money (this from a Mopar guy).

Tomorrow, I'll be towing my Road Runner on an open car trailer. There's no question in my mind that towing 4 wheels down is much easier.

Sure, you can't back up with a tow bar, but that's only been an issue for me once. I unhooked in less than 5 minutes, moved as necessary, and rehooked in 5 minutes.

With the trailer, I'm longer, I have to have enough space to hook up to the trailer, connect the trailer by backing the motorhome, which requires more precision than driving the Ford up to the motorhome, pull out the ramps, drive the Road Runner on the trailer, stow the ramps, connect 4 tie-down straps and my trailer requires me to remove/re-install the left fender to be able to open the Road Runner's door.

The tie-downs should be checked every so often. Yes, you can back up the trailer, but you'd better have lots of space. If you get stuck, you can't just unhook the trailer and move it around (although I do have a trailer dolly, but then the Road Runner has to come off first).

You have to have storage space for the trailer wherever you go.

Just my 1 cent (it's not worth 2).
