Anyone out there towing a Subaru Outback with automatic AWD?  Not

Motorhome's dinghy guide says it can't be done.
Remco, the people who make the pumps and lockouts, says it can't be done.

    I'm trying to remove the driveshaft bolts to replace a bad
U-joint.  It appears to be a spline type bolt head so I picked up some
sockets but metric and SAE both don't work.  Anybody out there got a
clue on this?

Remco reports the Lincoln MRZ with front wheel drive is towable as is.
As there is no baseplate, perhaps my question is mute.  But, maybe
someone has figured it out so I'll ask.  It is a very nice midsized car

I just returned from a quick trip down to Port Aransas to do some fishing.

Having a hard time finding parts and info to install a receiver and
brake controller on my 2008 RX400h.  Lexus website says tow capacity

I found this wonderful old sign site

When I bought this RV as a 'donor' vehicle for my bus project, I was
really hard pressed to put the crowbar to it..  newly smogged and
licensed, 50,000 miles, super running 454 engine with Banks Power Pak.
Good tires, and a great interior..  tuff to strip it down..
