Would not be quick and be careful in the mountains or on long climbs. Keep your speed and momentum.

It depends on how much you're looking to tow (GW) and in what kind of terrain. Otherwise its a solid car.

Jeez.

That looks like a good way to wind up wearing a big-a&& trailer full of dirt like a bad fitting sweater.
