Transporting the SLINGSHOT

Because of the single rear wheel on the SLINGSHOT vehicle, it cannot be towed by a conventional tow truck. Never tow the SLINGSHOT vehicle on its wheels behind another vehicle.
To transport the SLINGSHOT vehicle, always use a trailer or flatbed truck. A trailer must have an approved load rating greater than the actual weight of the SLINGSHOT vehicle, including any installed accessories or cargo.
caution
SLINGSHOT vehicles must be loaded with the front of the vehicle pointed toward the direction of travel. Loading the vehicle backwards may cause damage to the hood or other body panels during transport.
