hey guys. iv been looking at getting a quadbike but since i got the corsa b i wouldnt really have anything to tow it with. i would have never thought of the corsa as a towing vehicle but im starting to see more and more getz's with towbars at work and then i saw that guy the other week who tows a boat i think it was on 1000km+ round trips on a regular basis without any troubles and i think his was a 1.4 not the 1.6... so basically what could go wrong with towing a quadbike and small trailer 9/10 weekends. i know of excessive sagging on the springs and shocks etc but what could go wrong with the engine and gearbox side of things ?????

Find out how heavy the trailer plus quad bike would be, then find out the towing capacity of the corsa, don't expect much though
Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
never thought of that haha. cheers mateOriginally Posted by hazrd

towing unbraked is 450kg and braked is 1000kg. does anyone know if a quadbike and trailer will be within specs ?

Depends on the trailer
The quad would be at least 400kg (full size ATV). and u probably couldn't go any bigger than a box trailer

just put a tow rope between the car and the quad, or build a set of ramps to put it on the roof.
