Your e-messages gave me just the info I needed. I have a 2002 PT Cruiser and also a handicap scooter. I currently have a manual ramp I have to lift out and connect to maneuver the scooter in/out of the back of the cruiser -- which means the back seats are always folded down. I am considering the purchase of one of the new scooter trailers I've found, trailer weight 230 lbs (see at
http://www.discount-trailers.com/scooter_trailer.htm). My scooter weights about 250 or less. I was told all I could use on the vehicle is a class 1 hitch. Will this hitch pull a "rig" like I am considering?
