The widest point on the car is the front hubcaps, and their spread is about 5'-8". The length of your '16 Touring is 11-1/2' with the top up, and about another foot with the top down. You didn't ask about the height, but it's just under 7'. (The car pictured in the post above is a '26-7, which are not as tall.) Your car weighs about 1500 lbs.
By Edward R. Levy on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 - 03:26 pm:Thanks for the info. The reason I asked is I need to let the people who are building my trailer where to space the front & rear D-Rings. I was thinking the best choice woule be the recessed swivel ring style two front & two back about two feet back from the front of the trailer & a foot in from the left & right ends of the axles. Ant thoughts on this ?
