        sorry, NOT the hitch, the tow BAR is what i ment (the triangle thing).

        currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),

          How so? Unsafe for what? I can pull a complete Festiva 1700lbs. Besides a tow hitch is rated two ways. 3500 is the loaded tounge weight, which is 5,000lbs pulling a flat load. What is so unsafe about that?

          Even at 3500lbs a Festiva is just a little over 1/2 of the rated capability.

          Just curious as to why you feel it's unsafe?

            One could say a B6T festiva is unsafe as well.

            I've pulled another festiva nearly a thousand miles with proper hitch, tow bar, and safety lights.

            Anything can be unsafe for the inexperienced and/or unprepared.
