I think I recall Phyllis Almazan telling me of a bad incident, where  
the frame bracket weld broke free causing both vehicles to wipe out.  
Might want to check with her to see if I recall right.

I've got a tow-bar like that, and haven't had a problem flat towing a  
roadster. Just make sure you have long bolts with nuts going through  
the frame and tow-bar brackets, just in case the welds on the frame  
break. Don't just rely on bolting to the metal that's welded to the  
frame (that the bumper brackets use).
