GlennWest Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I would think so but I use 4. But I have never strapped it down with 2. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteSuccess Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Roger, As Glenn says it may be but I wouldn't use just two. I have been on some roads where the truck bounces like a bronco coming out of the chute. The likelihood of the front or back tires dancing around on the smart is not great but I just don't want to take the chance. I use two tire baskets on the fronts and two straps with tread blocks on the rear. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

Dennis M Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I've always used four just out of an abundance of caution. There have been couple of times where one has become a bit loose for one reason or another.
