I just towed a club cab Dodge Dakota truck from San Diego to Las Vegas on a U-Haul trailer, no problems at all. Towing a Civic should be a snap.

In college one year I drove a 93' Geo metro Hatchback. Car was so small you could have fit it in the back of a truck.

That made me think of something that happened to me years back. My father picked me one day after school about May 1991 so we could go get his 82 Corvette from the shop so I could take it to prom. Granted, 200hp isn't anything special, but plenty for a 17 yr old kid. So I drive away, and this Geo Storm with a fart pipe and body kit (in 1991!!) comes up and wants to race, he's revving the **** out of it. So when the light changes, he takes off, but I only let his rear get even with my front wheel. Then I decided to speed up a little because it looked like he wanted to cut me off (I swear I have a sign or something, even to this day). So then he's stuck being even with MY rear quarter. By the second or third traffic light, he was more than a little pissed! By the way, before all the whining starts, this was a 4 lane semi highway with sparse traffic and we never went faster than 80! Apparently the Storm can't go that fast without ALOT of room...

I've towed over 7500lbs with no problems. I have a 20ft car trailer that weighs 2700lbs empty.
