I'm trying to purchase a mostly rust free body for my incredibly rusty VW, and there's a guy in New York that may have one. Now, I could make a separate trip to get it. Or I could grab it when I'll be "passing through" on my way to the New England LeMons Rally (late September).
So what does that have to do with my S70? Well, when I asked Google about towing capacity, it gave a generic answer of 3,300lbs... if this is true, it's life-changing, because I've always wanted a tow rig. But I have my doubts. So I wanted to ask experts here. I do have stiffer springs from IPD that I can install (the blue ones, as well as HD shocks), which I'm sure would help. But again, that seems high. My daily can only tow 1,000 lbs, and that's what I assumed the S70 would be able to do as well.
For your viewing pleasure, here's are a photo from yesterday's RallyX event. We debeaded a tire (after I flung off the track), but were able to pop it right back on and take part in the afternoon runs! No suspension bits broke this time! Huzzah!
