Did I hear right- did that fellow say that they were testing all the cars towing loads that were 85% of total tug weight? That's pretty impressive...
Such a different world! Not just the tugs, either. Trailer design is so different over there.

No- I'm the one that contradicted you when you posted that simply putting a "heavier" aftermarket hitch on a Forester (or any other vehicle) will increase its towing capacity.
I'm also the one that contradicted you when YOU maintained that the factory hitch on the Forester "sucks", as you so elegantly put it. Subaru's OEM hitch is in every way superior to aftermarket product, as I illustrated with pictures in t'other thread.
If you'd care to review that discussion and refresh your memory, here's the link
