We'll soon find out. I'm going to get it set up for towing in the next couple of weeks. Then I'll be towing it to New Orleans and then on to Sarasota, Florida. The two main suppliers for tow setups are Blue Ox and Roadmaster. Both of them list base plates (the hardware that attaches to car) for the Mercury Mariner Hybrid. That would indicate there is a market for these. I also heard back from a RVer who is pulling a FEH and he has now towed it about 8,000 miles without any problem. He advised me that he just puts it in neutral and turns the key back one notch and takes off.
