Today is my first for owning a 3cyl Suzuki platform vehicle. The car a 2dr hatch 1992 5spd body has 283 k or 169000 miles and engine 100k or 60000 mi as I'm told and think correct as to the running condition ,power no smoke or steam . The interior a little tough ang needs some care all around including a muffler as none is there. I have a very lite teardrop trailer 286lbs which is very easy to tow with a 2200cc car with a loss of 5% mpg so am hoping to be able to tow with this vehicle. Before spending to much I hope to test it on a 100 or so mile run , your thoughts collectivly will be appreciated. |

depends on how you mount your tail, and what your trailer weighs loaded down. Have fun, and be safe. Welcome to the forum. |

You may want to get a tranny from a vert or a 95+ 3 cylinder car to get lower gears for towing. How fast do you drive? Lower gears really help when towing. |
