What happens here
Before any modifications, thoroughly assess the Smart car's chassis, engine capacity, and current legal towing limits. Smart cars are typically not designed for towing, so extensive research and planning are crucial. Design a custom trailer hitch that can be securely integrated with the vehicle's frame, considering its small size and potential unibody construction. Verify local regulations regarding vehicle modifications and trailer towing to ensure compliance and safety.
Goal: Determine feasibility and design a custom trailer hitch for the Smart car.
