I've actually been thinking about doing a early 90's B-series Mazda pickup with a S5 TII engine. Need to work out how much it would be able to tow, but if it can do 4000-5000 lbs, I'll probably do it. I need a truck instead of having two cars for hauling firewood to heat my house among other things it would be used for and I think it would be just plain cool to have two rotary powered vehicles, a sports car and a workhorse.
Anything will tow anything in the flat lands.
I'd think that a turbo rotary would gulp premium fuel about as fast as you can pour it in if you're towing 5k behind it in the mountains. Hope it's got a big gas tank!
Also, I don't know where you found that thing but it looks brand new!

From the looks of the plates, its from BC. Things are practically stuck in time there. I brought back an EK civic about 4 years ago from vancouver and it looked NEW. It had almost 300,000kms on it, back then.

My truck is a Supercharged V6 and it's towing capacity is only 3500 being 5-speed, 5000 if it was an automatic. I'd be hard pressed to think a rotary could tow 5000lbs. Towing is partially about power, but also weight and wheelbase. The 3.0L V6 version of that truck is rated for 3500lbs, and it doesn't matter what motor you put in there, the stuck will have the sticker on it, and if the MTO pull you over, you gotta be within specs of what that truck is rated for. It's no different than people that do dually conversions on full-sized trucks, they not factory duallies, so they're not legally rated for that weight, regardless if its now capable of it.
Alberta is similar... DOT cares more about commercial then anything else... if it looks recreational, they seem to pretty much leave it alone..
not to knock on Ontario or Quebec, but people out here are generally way more relaxed and care free, not so up tight and bitchy... but thats just my opinion...
as much as Alberta has it drawbacks and lots of bad PR because people dont know how to research correctly, and latch onto any environmentalists idea (and believe everything they say) its a great province...
My absolute favorite part of Alberta...
5% GST... and no pst...
