Towing questions
I was wondering if anyone knows the towing laws? I've tried searching but still do not have an answer to my question. Are you legally allowed to tow with a vehicle that is not rated to tow, or tow more than the vehicle that is rated for?
I currently have a '13 WRX hatch and I wanted to tow a couple of dirt bikes. Altogether it would come in under 1000 lbs which I know the car can handle. It's rated for 1000 lbs without trailer brakes and 2000 lbs with trailer brakes, but that's outside of US. After some research I found out that it has to do with the towing methods that are encouraged in US and outside of US which is why same cars outside of US are rated for higher towing capacity. My concern is with the legality of it and whether I'd get fined for doing so without a vehicle that's rated for it here. Thank you
