A Ford Windstar pulling what?!
Last Friday we drove to lynchburg, Va for the weekend. Sometimes while on a road trip you see some really stupid stuff. I saw a Windstar pulling a tandem axle travel trailor. I'm guessing it was a 20 footer.
I wouldn't recommend this on a flat surface much less the mountainous terrain of Western Virginia. I'm sure he had trailor brakes but it still seems a little odd to me.

If it's an older one I know you can mount a class 3 onto it. Max towing weight of the hitch is 3500 lbs but I'm sure the car can not handle that much safely.

Front wheel drive and towing.................not too good in a emergency situation.
I would not worry about him terrorizing the roads for long with that set up, the transmission will go soon under that duty.

tell me about those trans. Had one replaced under warranty at 54K, rebuilt at 101K. So you only get about 50K out of them.
Last time rebuilt was with heavy duty parts...ran it for about 60K till it blew a headgasket.

Don't quote me on this because I'm not 100% sure I'm correct but I'm pretty sure Ford puts (or used to put) the same tranny in the Taurus. That should explain it right there.
