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 towed my teener home with my 07 Frontier V6 with a tow package with no issues at all. My buddy has a small singel axle tilt deck trailer didn't even really notice it behind me. Just leave a good distance between vehicles and make no sudden movements. If the towing amount is more then 50% of the weight of the vehicle you need trailer brakes in most states/provinces. I tow a Boler trailer with the truck in the summer to go caming. And I usually use my truck to launch all my buddies boats because they have big 250-350's with campers on the back and you have to back down a steep curvy hill to launch you boat. Saw a ford ranger get pulled down the same hill by a ski boat that was 4 feet shorter then my buddies boat.. Like my fronty way better then the Tacoma I had, it feels and drives like a full size truck.
