Can I Flat Tow a Vehicle 4-Wheels Down Using a 2014 Winnebago on a Mercedes Sprinter Chassis
Question:
The Mercedes manual says 4,500 pounds. How much car can I tow four wheels down with proper equipment?

Expert Reply:
If the manual for your 2014 Winnebago built on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis says that towing capacity is 4,500 pounds then that is the maximum a vehicle can weigh. You will want to doublecheck the manual because there may be a different capacity for flat towing versus regular trailer towing.
If you can tell me the year, make, and model of the vehicle you wish to flat tow I can recommend the proper parts. But you will want to check the manual for the vehicle you plan to tow as well to make sure it can be flat towed.
