I am considering towing a Smart Car on an a frame with my Fiat Ducato 1.9TD Swift Mondial High top, Has anyone used a simiar vehicle for towing and have they found any problems with power etc *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Can't answer your question directly, but I'd think a 1.9 would be seriously underpowered for this purpose. Smarty + trailer somewhere near 1 tonne? Have you checked the gross train weight for the Swift? That is the maximum permissible weight of the 'van + the trailer. I'd think you'd be very close with a laden 'van + the Smarty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think the gross train weight on your van would be too low. A 1.9 would be way underpowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
