Ok. I am going to start this of with an introduction:
I am NOT an idiot. I know a thing or two about vehicles. And I am fairly maintenance/modification savvy.
That being said, I AM in a tight spot and am a bit desperate. The military is moving making me move 1600 miles rather last minute. I have two cars, a vespa, and assorted home-goods.
What is the Trailer Hitch Class rating of the OEM hitch for the 2010 Forester? The Factory Manual says the vehicle is capable of 2400 lbs? So...?
> "Class I" is supposed to be rated up to 2,000 lbs
> "Class II: is supposed to be rated up to 3,500 lbs
What are the consequences of say... towing 3500 lbs (a car in an enclosed trailer) off the back of my 2010 Forester 2.5X MT?
Please don't be too vicious with your comments... I just need honest advice, like I said if there was another way for me to pull this off I would not go this route.
