S2000 tow vehicle?

s2000isu · 11-17-2006, 01:07 PM

I learned that a S2000 is not the best tow vehicle today. I attempted to pull a 2001 ford f-250 long bed reg cab out of some mud today it didnt work haha. So then I used the s2000 as an anchor and hooked a come along to it and the truck it slid the s2000 along the parking lot it was pretty funny

I would think not because of the weight of the vehicle stuck vs. the weight of the S. Depending on how much you pulled, I am surprised there wasn't any damage to the S.

i didnt make a full blown attempt at it. It was pretty funny to watch though im sure if i wanted to beat the s up it woulda pulled it out. I ended up putting an isuzu trooper in 4 low and all i did was let off the brake and it came right out

I pictured the little Mercedes Benz SUV trying to pull the tractor trailer mobil back up onto the hill in Jarassic Park 2. I always laugh when I see that thing moving back and forth in the mud and making little (if any) progress.

we just dont know if there was damage maybe you should get the tran looked at

lol are you kidding? its an s2000 not a ferrari. If it was that fragile I would not have bought it and if it was I would have trashed a few trans by now.

Oxford S2K · 11-17-2006, 05:54 PM

s2000isu · 11-17-2006, 06:21 PM

lol i used the eyelit the one you use for getting towed outa snow mud or so on.
No i really dont think I need to check my trans lol. On a manual trans what should i get checked out?

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 11-17-2006, 08:29 PM

s2000isu · 11-17-2006, 08:33 PM

no its gonna be nuts in a few week when i get my awd car running and my buddy gets his awd dsm running and we have tug of war in the snow lol. I have alot more power then him and better tires but he has weight, lsd rear, and an auto trans. I really shouldnt be allowed to operate motor vehicles hehehe

LanceVance · 11-21-2006, 03:21 PM

the tuggle war thing sounds fun... as for towing with an S... sounds like a sin to me, but whatever

Well . . I guess you could use a cell phone to hammer nails too. 'S'jus' that I ain't zackly sure how much use it'd be as a cell phone afterwards. Y'know?
Be well.
