Towing a 6000 lb trailer with a Taurus?

Say what you want about Can-Am RV and Andy. They don't sit behind keyboards and make empiracle statements. They put things to the test, the do slolam testing, they spend 8 plus hours setting up one TV properly and they pay attention to the details.
Absolutely agree. Many people assume they slap a hitch on a Taurus off the showroom floor and hitch up a TT to it....while that might be the norm here in US, these guys at Cam Am take their towing seriously and put a lot more effort into it.
If you were to take you Taurus into Can Am and have it "outfitted" for towing, you may get a custom receiver, attaching points strategically strengthened, suspension upgraded, etc. Note the lack of sag on the taurus in any of the photos. Can Am likely includes a Hensley hitch with each set up to eliminate sway in the rig.
A lot of folks are quick to dismiss Andy, but I think the guy knows what he is doing. He takes the time to understand the dynamics of a particular vehicle and from experience knows what's needed to make it a safe tow rig. Yes, he has done a few really out there combos to prove a point, but overall if Andy set the rig up, I wouldn't have a problem driving it.
