I used to tow my 16 footer with my Honda Accord. This was a relativly
heavy 16 footer being that is has a large cabin and a merc 115. The cat
towed it fine. It was fine at the ramp too. Some precautions I followed:

-- Go slower than you think so you have more room to stop.

-- Leave more room between you and next car in front of you.

-- On the ramp I had someone standing by with blocks for the wheels.
They (or I) put then in when I stopped the car. Never came even close
to needing them...but better safe than car in the water.

The other's note about the transmission cooler is interesting. If you are
driving on flat roads and not for long distances I'm guessing it's not
really a concern. But if you are going long distances in that FLA heat
or up some hills check out a cooler.

My 92 Taurus' temp gauge rarely moved when towing, UNLESS I was going up a
hill behind some fool who was busy slapping the kids or talking on the cell
phone. You know those drivers whose cars go slower and slower up hills until
they're finally doing 18 mph, because they think they get more MPG by
keeping their foot in the same position on the pedal? Anyway, since we can't
control when we'll end up behind drivers like that, an oil cooler's a good
idea, at least if you notice your car warming up significantly.
