Towing Safety & Electric Cars - Tales of a Gearhead Episode 32
May 03, 2021
With the recent story of a driver of a 2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty towing a 30-foot camper losing control, swerving over a guardrail and ending up dangling off a bridge over the Malad Gorge in Idaho... the only thing preventing them from crashing into the river over a 100 feet below, was the safety chains. Stacey discusses all the things you must consider to be able to tow something safely. Whether it’s a little 10-foot U-haul or a full blown RV camper.
After that, it’s a dive into the pros, cons and things you maybe haven’t considered about the impacts of electric vehicles. Then, Stacey answers a listener question about installing fog light on a Toyota Tacoma.
