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'm currently towing my first 914 with a 08 Tacoma V6 on a uhaul trailer. Where's the best place to attach the safety chains from the uhaul trailer to the car??? I can't find a good place front or rear. Please help.....
