I used a 92 reformed airport limo for five years. It did not have the tow
package and with enclosed trailer through the mountains the transmission
overheats and shuts down the engine. No problems ever with flat trailer.
Check out front ball joints -- at 120K we are getting our second set as I
write. Other than that -- one transmission rebuild, one tune up, one A/C
recharge, one frozen back brake adjuster (put on parking brake every now and
then & it doesn't happen) -- in ten years. Very nice/quiet ride. It
happily carried 4,000 + lbs. of books many times.
