    Well Butch,
    You can get a belligerent as you feel, it's a free country. You asked for input and, I gave you my opinion. How you interpret it is your problem. Lot's of folks ask about towing different autos/trucks etc. on here and it's amazing that so many tell them go right to "Remco" or "Blue Ox" or any other entity, without telling them to go the manufacturer. That is the first place one should ask about towing ANY TOAD. They're the ones that designed and built the car, not Remco or any other seller of aftermarket equipment.

    As for getting a life Pal, have had one for decades, helped a lot of folks when improper info has been given to them. You take care 'ya hear.

  • Checked my 1994 MH Mag dinghy guide and no Isuzu models are listed. That may mean that modifications are necessary to tow. Dick

  • Well Sir,
    If you're intent IS TO TOW your next toad FOUR DOWN, you might make sure before you sign the deal. I don't know those vehicles very well so, I cannot answer you accurately. But, to buy something and then start modifying it with pumps, drive shaft disconnects etc. which, could very well become a pain in the a... I'd surely confirm whether or not it can be flat towed. It's up to you, you're the one that has to deal with the modifications and added costs. As you most likely know, there's a zillion other vehicles out there that are fully authorized by the manufacturer(s) without mods. Good luck.

  • Check Remco RV towing... They make transmission pumps but also have a good list of what cars can be towed.. Also look in the car owners manual under recreational towing.. Check Roadmaster for tow bar plates.
    Good luck
