That’s what I was thinking. Forward seems more aerodynamic. ---

Thinking about this more, I once had a little car that when you pressed down and drug it backwards it wound up a coil spring and when you let it go it shot out across the floor. Maybe this was a design feature of early GEM cars that the manual was referring to? (I was actually thinking of adding a big wind-up key to the cab of mine) ---

> [@ernest](#): > > Also, you must tow it with the back of the car facing forward and do not go over 50 mph Good god no. Doing that risks popping the windshield out. Also take all the seat cushions out that you can or you’ll risk losing them too. ---

I got my manual online and downloaded it very easy your 4x6 trailers should be no problem ---

Thanks Ernest. I did find some guidance on the Polaris site regarding towing and they state to have the Gem facing forward when transporting on an open trailer. I think that makes sense. ---

I’ve recently had to lug a couple of 2000-02 4 seaters around. Found the uhaul “6’ x 12’ Utility Trailer with Ramp” works perfect. You have about 1 inch on each side if you drive it up the ramp square. [Previous page](https://community.electricforum.com/t/trailer-hitch-fir-2002-gem-car/18243.md?page=1)
