I am planing on trying to tow a 914 with my 2010 Tacome 4cyl without towing package. It has a Curtis frame mounted hitch with a 2" ball. I was going to rent a uhaul full auto trailer. I don't want to be pushing the envelope. It will be mostly highway driving. Thanks

I pulled my 914 on a tow dolley from Oklahoma City all the way to Dallas, OR on my way to McChord AFB with my GMC Canyon 2WD 5 Cyl 3.5L Vortec engine. It has a hitch which helps but I had no problem at all. It was Jan 31 when I went through Alburque, NM when all the snow was still on the freeway in some places. Even through the siskiyou and grants pass my truck did just fine. Just make sure your vehicle can handle it and be safe. Your gross tow weight should be somewhere in your manual or you can find it online through google.
