Just stopping in to say hello. Looking to buy a 2009 Brabus coupe to pull behind my motor coach. Looks like a cool car for getting around at a vacation spot.

Any advice on getting one for that purpose or towing one 4 wheels down? Thanks

-Troy

Hi, Troy.

Invest in a bungee cord.

Beyond that, there are some threads in this forum you should be able to find specifically addressing towing. If you need links to those threads rather than spelunking the caverns to find them, let us know and a tow-experienced Smart owner should be able to find them for you pretty quickly.

(The bungy cord is to return the steering wheel to center; otherwise, the car will try to change directions unexpectedly.)

Welcome aboard Troy. If you scroll down the forum home page, under 'Smart Car Technical', you will see a section dedicated to towing. Lots of helpful stuff there.
Happy trails to you!

Let's be careful out there,
Pops and Carlito

Ok, thanks for the towing info.

As far as the Smart goes, I may just hold out for the 2010's just to see whats new or "better" than 09'.
