I am considering purchasing an '06 175, which when on a trailer with

away, do I run the risk of fishing my van out of the river?
Thank you.



Towing it should be fine if you take it easy, but I'd think twice before
going on a boat ramp in a FWD vehicle, especially one that's overloaded.
As the boat slides down the ramp, the front wheels will get lighter
and you might not have the traction to get out.
