Today was the first time I used my Invisihitch for something other than a bike rack (which is it's real purpose). I am without a proper towing vehicle right now so I trailered my John Deere lawn tractor (1300 pounds) on an aluminum trailer. I realize the weights are well below the limits, but I was still a bit apprehensive. To be honest, it still seems odd to have hitch that simply clicks in place. I was really impressed how well this vehicle tows and how well the Invisihitch system works. I cruised at 75 mph (5 below the speed limit) and reset the mpg calculator out of curiosity. I averaged 13.3 mpg on a 40 mile trip. That's really pretty good. Compared to my MB GL 550 (which I used once with the same set up) it was far more solid and the mpg was close to my GL without towing anything. While I don't plan to do much, if any, really towing I came away pretty impressed. Plus, I got my JD delivered for service! Sorry for the crappy pic.
