I towed my 84 Caravelle 365km at 100-110kmh, with an A-frame, with my 89 Corolla 1.8 diesel wagon (nonturbo). Lotsa bends and hills. No problem at all, though the A-frame is too long and causes the towed vehicle, even a light one, to push the back of the towing vehicle in bends (has caused jackknifing when towing a 75 Passat with a 74 Passat). -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
