Yeah. .Americans are suckers for the ads and hearsay telling them that they need a 3-ton truck to drive 5 miles to work, so that doesn't surprise me. Here in rural France I see a lot of utility trailers, almost always hitched to small, light cars, though so far I haven't noticed any behind EVs. That's how they move stuff without having to own and drive a gas-guzzling monster that literally won't fit through some of these narrow medieval alleyways. My neighbor is a landscaper. I often see his trailer loaded with brush on the way to the recycling center. He pulls it with a 1999 Citroen Saxo supermini. Never a problem, he says. You should see the hitches used in Europe. They're different. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tow_ball_50mm.png David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
