I'm not one to complain for those who choose to part with their vehicles as I am selling my 99 as well. However, you need to do your homework before you start assuming that the VX is incapable.
First, as RT mentioned Tone has a custom hitch that fits really nicely in the VX. You can probably pay someone $60 to install it or you can follow Tone's very detailed instructions.... I believe Tone rated the hitch at 5k lbs.
Secondly, for $3.00 you can buy the little round mirror add-ons from Autozone to give you great vision and for an addition $10 you can get Van-Eyes to add to the rear window... Moncha has pics of this at his website.
Finally, spend $500 and get yourself a rear camera and monitor and have perfect VISION!!!!
Dude, I was in your shoes a dozen times thinking of reasons I made a bad choice. I bought my 99 brand new and a year later was thinking... Damn, I could have gotten a 4 door grand cherokee for the same price I paid for my VX.... Five years later I am now so glad I didn't get rid of the VX or go with a "traditional SUV".... Then again, I like being different.
ANYWAY... If you wanna sell, I'm sure someone out there wants to buy, but don't give the VX a bad wrap by saying it can't do what you want it to, cause it can, you just have to take the time to make it happen!

My bad, its the california blood coming out in me... I use
DUDE way too much.
You're right and so is the Redline... Sell if you gotta sell and I'm sorry to see you go... I tow motorcycles and short trailers with no problem ,but yeah, small wheelbase!
I'm not trying to be rude, just offering ideas that you've probably already explored...
Well...firstly 99 is not a "dude",we've met, & she's def. a *advertiser censored*.
Also, I'm not glad you're selling, It was kinda nice having another VX in close proximity. I've noticed a few of the new members are in the area too.Any interest out there in a North Central meet this spring/summer?
Anyway, I hope whatever you decide works out for the best. Ldub
