Problem is, they have a car rated to tow only 1500# (Honda Element).
In all of those posts I didn't see anyone question WHY an Element is rated to tow 1,500 pounds.
Did an engineer set that limit? Or a product liability lawyer? Or the bean-counter who doesn't want a bunch of warranty claims?
Case in point, a couple of years back my cousin in Europe and I both had exactly the same SUV, well exactly the same except mine was rated for 5,000 pounds trailer capacity, his was rated for 7,500 pounds.
