The problem with that though is he would either have to pull the driveshaft, or he would have to tow it backwards, which I would think might cause the front bumper to hit the ground if he hit a bad bump or something. You can't pull a automatic car to far with the driveshaft in cause it'll get the tranny hot and can cause damage. I had to tow my truck about 3 miles and pulled over half way, and it was hot as ****. Imagine 50 miles the interstate instead of 3 miles at 20mph.

Apparently to rent a trailer from U-Haul (a full trailer) would be about $60.

But I don't know if I can tow that with our little Ford Escape..

brian, dont take my word for it, but its an idea

go on fastlsx and PM "BAD SS." His name is Christian. He has a welding shop literally next door to Kaltech. He owns a diesel pickup and has a trailer. He lives in Baldwin (I think thats what it says in his profile?). He basically lives a few towns over (if im correct) and he travels within 10 feet of Kaltech every morning. send him a pm and see what he says

or you can just rent a dolly and a pickup for enterprise. or put a ad on cragislist. or post something on fastlsx and see what you get; ppl will do anything for an extra buck now a days

If your referring to me, then yes, but I was talking about the comment about using a dolley. Not really wise to pull an auto RWD car with one.

I wish you were on the West Coast near me, I'd tow your ride for you.

Sounds like your best bet will be renting a trailer and a truck from U-Haul.

Bro, pulling the DS is like 2 min of your time, a hell of a lot easier to handle than ******* up a new engine.

That is the car transport that I was talking about. U_Haul has two types of "Drag U ****," the dollies and the car transports. Just make sure that if you get the dolly, the the ones in the overalls and not in the frilly dress; working around all that lace is a PITA

yes, but i dont think they got trailer hookups. they also charge hourly for truck rentals. you can rent a small van/truck from uhaul which probably has a trailer hookup. itll probably be the same amount of money if you go anywhere else

U-Haul will make you rent their 17' (IIRC) truck if you don't have one yourself, it's bullshit! It would be cheaper to buy the hitch and have it installed on your truck, lol.

Do you have a United Rental (www.ur.com) by you? **** you can rent a truck with a trailer if you really needed it. My advice would be to just rent the whole shabang from them. Hell of a lot easier. Not sure on the prices but we rented a big *** diesel with a trailer to haul a big *** cake fridge. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
