Re: [gremlintime] Towing Capacity of Gremlin, per Americana Mag ...

Hi,

I had a 71 Gremlin that I used to haul freshly cut firewood out of the woods. 
I used the car on the road but its "after life" revolved around just being a 
tractor. I typically cut a lot of Beach and Oak which is extremely heavy when 
it is first cut. I loaded up the car with so much wood that threr was barely 
room to drive it out of the woods. 

It was a stick shift and I remmember how with a full load I could let the car 
almost idle itself up and down the hills of Ohio. The cars are incredible and 
are almost as strong as jeeps.

With all that said, I would still be concerned about towing. The car has a 
relivly light rear end and if you exceeded the towig capacity the object you 
are towing would "push" the car and you would break traction.
