Jack Mayer Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Well, went out today to look at the new Smart Car and bought an incoming 2017...see specs below. Hope to use it for years to come. What, just one, Rick?? You should grab up two and keep one for future use. I've been playing with a bed design for slant loading a Fiat 500. It is dooable, and actually can fit in the same amount of space (approximately) as a smart takes up. But you lose the drom. No issue with getting it on the back of the truck, either. It has a little more road clearance than a smart, so it looks like with the 12' ramps you can rear load it. My new bed design has a slightly higher bed level than my last one, so clearing the hitch is not an issue. Or, at least on paper it is not. I need to CAD it, but I'm not a CAD guy.

Looking forward to seeing the new bed design at the ECR. I may just wrap up the 2017 until the wheels fall off the current one..... The new car has a lot more creature comforts than the old one.
