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

My Tacoma is the V6, 4 Door, TRD model, 4x4 with the long box. I think that is pretty much as heavy as they get and I don't think the truck weighs 4,500 lbs. Flat towing my 914 I have never found the brakes to be lacking, but the truck is light and the momentum of a 2,200 lb car behind you, that you can't see except for when you are turning, can be reassuring. It lets you know that your car is still there.
