towing

blk88lx · 07-05-2001, 08:20 PM

Hi all

Uncle sam's decided to move me from Colorado to Missouri. I was planning on using my truck to tow car over (dont worry, the truck is a Ford, too). Dont know if I need to rent a car trailer or if I can get by with a dolly. If the dolly works do I need to remove the driveshaft? By the way, I have an 88 with a T5.

Tow it on the front wheels if you can. If it's extra low or has ground effects, tow it with all four wheels off the ground.

Rent the trailer. For a measly $8 you get insurance. If your trailer or car departs you on the highway, the bill's on U-haul, and not your wallet.
