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

Before I acquired my Teener, I was at a local track day with my BMW M5. There was a 1980's BMW 635csi pulling a custom built trailer carrying a 914/6.
For the life of me, I cannot remember who it was. The trailer was very lightweight and very clever. I heard that it was brought over from Europe by a returning military officer. The trailer used 4 small Renault/Citroen wheels/hubs (3 lug). The trailer was constructed of two "U" channels attached to the axles and tongue. The channels were both the surface to drive the car onto and the main structural component of the trailer. The design even retained the original automotive parking brakes. The scavenged parking brake handle was mounted to the trailer tongue and functional ... no need to use wheel chocks on the trailer. Clever .... very clever. |
