I'm thinking about towing a 914 several hundred miles. Now I have the option of using a flat bed trailer, or possibly towing the 914 with a dolly. If I use the dolly, I won't hook up the drive shafts. I'll be using my Explorer and am trying to reduce the amount of wear and tear as well as keep the cost down some. Any thoughts? Thanks! Mike D. |

Hi Mike! Welcome to the club.
A couple of things: if there's even a remote option of the flat-tow, take it. I thought that if you tow on a dolly, you should have the rear axles connected. If you don't have them connected, they flop around. If they're completely out, there is a risk of damaging the rear wheel bearings. Regardless of how you tow, don't tow the car backwards! You will risk damaging the rear trunk lid and targa top. -Rusty |
