Classic American, pulling a trailer

I was driving up to mohegan sun, and thought that this Car should not be pulling a trailer... It just looks so wrong!

I'd rather have my classic pulling the trailer than riding on it.

Nothing unusual about an old car pulling a big trailer. Old cars like that could handle as much as a full size 3/4 ton pick-up truck could today...

Some people seriously underrate cars. The #1 most important thing is stopping, and as long as you have good trailer brakes it won't be a problem at all. #2 is handling, and with a car this heavy again it's not a problem, especially with weight distribution bars (which he has). Believe it or not, power isn't nearly as important, unless you're going up a long or steep hill.

You have no room to talk minivan driving douche while playing gay music.

the older trailers from the 50s that these cars were built to haul weigh alot more. im guessing this rv is 4 to 5 thousand pounds. plus with the eq hitch this car isnt even breaking a sweat.

This combo is not advisable, especially in mountain terrain, forget it there. Of course the owners are getting away with towing that rig but in an emergency that car wouldn't be able to handle much of anything. It simply isn't made to handle weight like that. I bet the car goes through lots of tranny's and rear ends. 50's cars just weren't made very well mechanically like they are now.

That is such bull and you know it. Its not cars that got weaker, its people. Cars today are much lighter and stronger than ever. I just pulled a similar sized trailer with a rental 4cyl subaru station wagon, but just around the yard. It can do it. This is after I saw this video. It could probably pull on the highway, but I am not dumb enough to try it. That V8 probably only makes 150hp but has a lot of torque and weighs 2 tons.

Dam i though it was going to be a Volkswagen beetle

That car is built stronger, and has a bigger engine than any of the common crapboxes that are driving today. Look in the related videos. Even a classic Beetle can putter around with a trailer attached! ...and that's saying something!
