But from what I've been told it's not your insurance company you need to worry about in an accident, it's what the DOT and State police determine.
Any investigation will determine weather your insurance company will even be required to settle on a claim.
One thing I've learned over the years, more is better when towing. Longer wheel base, bigger engine, heavier tow vehicle all add up to a more stable tow.
