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

About 20 years ago I flat-towed a small car (VW Jetta) with a Jeep Wrangler, halfway across the country -- or rather attempted to. I knew it would be dicey but was a one-time thing as in your current situation.
The Jeep's power and brakes were not a problem at all. The short wheelbase however - whoa nelly. When we got sick of fighting the cross-winds we unhitched the VW and drove both cars separately the rest of the way. Fortunately that was an available option. With the Tacoma I think you'd be OK with a 2-wheel dolly or flat-tow. I would be reluctant to attempt a 2,000+ lb steel trailer with a car on top... |
