    Why not?

    of course, you will need a hitch and trailer light and brake controler if you have it on a trailer.  And if auto trans, you might want a trans cooler if you do not have one.

    But you might also want to check with your dealer with the weight of you t@g ans see what they think about it.

    towing limits as to do with many things.  The main ones are weight limit of TV (tow vehicule), laws and regulation according to your state or province, your inssurance company if you go beyound that limit (liability) and personal confort and type of driver you are. Some driver want to drive with a trailer like they would do w/o and this is when things can go south real fast, even if you are within all the limitations that exist.

    i know that when I tow, I always slow down and anticipate braking distance, road condition and stupid driver according to my set-up braking distance and stability.

    some guy here (I think) pull a t@g with a honda fit. Some others pull little TD with motorcyle and spider trikes. And they are only a couple hundread lbs lighter than a T@G. And the bike are much lighter than any 4 wheel TV.

    so I would say make sure that your TV can handle the weight (to be on the safe side and enjoy).  Some people wants a fudge factore way more important, some are confortable with a smaller margin.  I am, cause I ajust me driving and I have been towing loaded trailers for more than 30 years with all kind of TV, from small 4 cyl manual 4 speed Renauld 5 to a ford E-150 and never had issues, not even close calls over thousands of miles at a time, But this is also related to how I drive.

    hope this help your reflexion (wait is this word translating how I want to??) :)

    Well, they sell a 600# tongue and 4000  lb tow weight hitch so a 1200 lb Tag should be no problem.

    @tar81 I’m sorry about the Subaru, but gotta say, your Tag + Jeep combo has such a higher cool quotient. No offense Sub owners, please, no hate mail. We loved our Impreza for goodness sake!
