TOWING WITH PEUGEOT To my surprise, my wife has developed a huge crush on those streamlined silver bullet camping trailers.

I wonder if anyone has any experience towing with Peugeot?

If not these retro gypsy wagons, then surely car-hauling that latest found treasure, a moss-festooned Panhard from the forest, Uncle Antoine's's barn fresh Facel Vega, or that 404 Coupe we all thought Mike would never part with.

Were any Peugeots sold with a "Towing Package?"

Wouldn't the diesels, especially the turbo diesels, have been good for towing?

Would choice of transmission have been a factor?

Would the lower gearing in the differentials of the wagons have been a plus?

If any of you have ever had experience... succesful or otherwise... using a Peugeot as a towing vehicle, it would be good to compare your stories.

And if you ever set up a Peugeot for extensive towing -- whether of travel trailer, car hauler or boat -- I'd love to know how you did it to prevent unneccesary wear or destruction of your car or wagon???

It would be great to hear thoughts, annecdotes, horror stories and success stories... Please post to the list!
