| 1106.1 | Only good for towing if its got the power as well | LARVAE::BURNS_T | live hard..... die young ???? | Tue Jun 12 1990 14:37 | 11 |

No experience of the lada but after returning from towing a carvan
round scotland for the last 2 weeks I would advise that the lada may
not have sufficient power to CAPABLY a heavy load. It may pull it on
the flat but you must realy have the power to pull on the hills as
well.

Formulae for towing is aprox
85% of car weight with braked trailer
and min 40 BHP per TON of total outfitt weight.

The _ONLY_ thing to tow with is a Landrover..... :-)

| 1106.3 | Only the new ones with 3.5 will do it WELL | LARVAE::BURNS_T | live hard..... die young ???? | Tue Jun 12 1990 15:59 | 7 |

Only a 3.5 will do cos the others loose power on the hills all by them
selves with out any load, assuming I am talking about hills on a road &
that the speed at the bottom is the same as the speed at the top & is
in eccess of 40 MPH.
