Help -- noob to towing, need to tow a car on a dolly!

[Fr0z3N]

what is, my evil little plans to beat uhaul's bullshit? >: )

Nope uhaul won't rent the explorers either, the trick is to pick it up with 1 car then switch it to the ex after.

Is there something on the rental agreement where you fill in the vehicle that you'll be towing with? And if so, wouldn't you have some explaining to do if something were to happen?

Just a thought.

I'm with gatorblazer.

I towed a volvo S40 behind the Cherokee I use to have. 15 mile trip and there were many white knuckle moments. I do have quite a bit of experience towing too. The dolly didn't have brakes and I had to stop halfway through to let the heep brakes cool.

I had to trailer the heep later (unrelated). With the right equipment it was infinitely less sketchy. I did get good at keeping an eye on the side view mirror though when pulling a load as wide as the road I was on:

Look at the keeping the trans alive

I just got to spend 2500 getting the trans rebuilt after towing a pop up camper 3000 miles. Trans may have had some problems when I got it, but I know I did not help. Some good info in the forum on this.
