We’ve previously expressed a fondness for the practical benefits of a full sized luxury SUV, however, an enthusiast will still point out that an 18′ long 6,000lb vehicle lacks the dynamic driving experience of a small sporty car.
I am happy to announce that I’ve found an excellent and easy solution to this conundrum! Just follow these three easy steps.
- Acquire a 7,000lb 20 foot long or greater enclosed trailer (check your tow rating and instructions!)
- Hook said trailer up to your ponderous, slow SUV, and tow for a few hundred miles. I find around 200 miles to be adequate.
- Park and unhook said trailer
That’s it! After following these easy steps you will notice dramatically improved perceived acceleration, remarkably improved handling, better braking, and even a significant bump in fuel economy!
