Looks like you can tow anything up to about 5,000 pounds based on the specs from the Georgetown site. (23,000 - 18,000 = 5,000) That is pretty wide open as most autos weigh less than that. Need a supplementary braking system in the TOAD, lots of those around as well.

I am kinda conservative so I never tow with full water or waste tanks, just to give me an extra tolerance on weight.

4200 lbs. is the max towing weight for the Solera. A pre 2016 Smart car can be towed all wheels down and weighs in at 1840 lbs. That is what I tow and love it. Only thing needed is to install a battery disconnect switch. Blue Ox makes a base plate that is easy to install (with a little help is better).

You are absolutely correct. We have a "twisted" thread here. 4200 pounds for the Solera, 5000 pounds for the Georgetown 30X3!

Yes Dave it is true 2017 Spark steering wheel doesn't locked without key. I can turn in either direction. May be also 2018 Spark.
