| Suv != Open Trailer
I was looking at getting an open trailer to haul a motorcycle and lawn mower.... Salesman said you aren's supposed to tow an open trailer with an SUV.. I asked him why that was... His answer was, "Because you aren't supposed to". So uh, why can't I really tow an open trailer? Or is he crazy?
