Just bought this new aluminum trailer to haul my toys around. The setup for this trailer is 4 D ring points set 16' apart in the length and 4'8' in the width. How to strap down a 914 for safe hauling. Thanks all.

If the straps are long, I like to cross at least one set. If they are really short, crossing isn’t important. You can use wheel straps with the tie downs or a suspension point like the A arms or rear shocks. Where you tie it down may depend on valences, spoilers or exhaust. I probably towed 50 different Porsche’s in the last two years and never had an issue. Just have to find a secure point and use common sense.
It’s always good to drive a couple miles and make a hard stop and then recheck the straps. |
