Anybody towing an Electric Smart car as a toad yet.
Just curious. Its very possibly our next vehicle in 2015/16 and wondering if any motorhomers are towing an ED Smart on a trailer and how its working out for them. Thanks in advance.

My 2009 smart is an ICE model (internal combustion engine). It is a gasser only, not a hybrid. There is a discussion over at the smart Car of America user forum about flat towing the ED model (electric drive).
It would appear to be that the ED cannot be flat towed for long distance as noted in the 2013 ED owners manual:The vehicle may be towed only for
distances up to 30 miles (50 km) and at a
speed not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Otherwise, the electric drive or the
high-voltage system could be damaged.
Note the speed and distance restrictions.
Thanks for posting. Yah I suspect if we do this we'll just continue to tow on our trailer. I think the dimensions are compatible with our existing trailer.
