    Default Towing with a vs ute/stretching

    have many of you guys noticed any 'stretching' of vehicles after a lot of heavy towing? I've heard people talk about these newer cars, that are nowhere near as strong in the body as the old stuff, stretching, doors dropping and not closing properly etc.. Is it just a myth?

    I would assume its a myth, but new cars are puss so its quite possible. I have never noticed it, but I dont tow a heavy load regularly, maybe once a month if that.
