Theif I am pretty sure if Mazda make a bigger truck, the race team will definitely use it!

Wonder if a super CX-9 can do that? Probably not lol

Nah man, you need a giant honking V8 powered truck. Gotta make sure you compensate somehow.

Thank you for your concern. However, a 2008 Mazda B4000 4×4 with an automatic transmission has a maximum trailer towing capacity of 5600lbs. The 01 Rx7 race car weighs 2,287lbs, the trailer weights under 1,000lbs, and the payload at the back of the truck is under 300lbs. That gives us a SAFETY WINDOW of over 2,000lbs to tow.

As a race team, we definitely want to ensure the public is safe during our transportation to and from the race track. We are WELL WITHIN the MTO guidelines for trailer safety.

Happy motoring.

Car and Trailer weight is approx 3400lbs, truck is rated to tow 5000lbs…… perfectly safe if you ask me, and i was following it out to the track that day.

Allan Balinsky may be a race winner, but his choice for a tow vehicle is plain stupidity.

Pulling a 2500 pound car on a dual axle trailer with that small truck is asking for trouble. He’s putting the general public at risk pulling that down the 401. There is simply not enough truck in from of that car and trailer to be safe.

Come on where is your common sense.

Shame on you Alan.
