Anyhow, I looked up the SHO. Fords towing guide lists the SHO "not rated for towing".
There must be a reason.
Yes, the profit margin is much smaller.
Why would ford sell you a car to tow with where they only make hundreds when they can sell you a "truck" that they can make thousands with. Lol
Yea, a 1970's car with a wobbly frame, Flemsy brakes, terrible suspension, zero real safety features, and maybe 175-250 hp makes such a better tow vehicle than a modern SHO.
Geeze....
Take my 00 Town Car for example, it's got a 2000 lb tow rating. Same car in 94 was nearly 6000 lbs. what changed? The spare tire. That's all.
Thanks,
