Especially since it's an 1 3/4" ball. Never knew there was such a small ball. Smallest I have is 1 7/8". Go for it!

Can my > 1983 300D turbo take such a hitch and tow such a load? The Benz Factory allowed us to pull 1900 kg (about 4200 lb) with our 300D Turbos (automatic gearbox), so this should be okay. It's merely the question of how fast you want to go there, not how much you can hitch up. - -- Alas, how love can trifle with itself! -- William Shakespeare, "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 13:35:27 GMT From: "jasonbassett-at-juno.com" Subject: [db] Waging the war on dirt John style..........
