I understand with a front wheel drive vehicle, if you put a lot of weight on the back of it, you lose traction on the front wheels. I see FWD vehicles with lifts for motorized wheelchairs driving around, yet no one will put one on my car because it's a FWD. The wheelchair is about 180 lbs in weight.
Can someone give me more information as to what this 200 lb or so weight on the outside of the back of my car would do regarding safe driving? Would it be impossible to drive freeways, is it only doable for around the town trips?
I've priced wheelchair trailers and they are expensive and too large. Plus, towing a trailer that's 8' long is not my idea of safety. I've looked at motorcycle trailers but they are even more expensive (above $3000!) I'm just not up to spending a few grand on something a tech college student could weld together in a weekend.
