I'll be heading to Fla from Northeast soon and towing a front wheel drive. I can rent a car dolly for over $330 or purchase a tow bar that puts all 4 whees on the ground.. Can the latter be done safely without ruining t?

 

Hey Gang quick question. I have a tow dolly (a small trailer that you drive the front tires of a car onto so you can tow the car). It currently has trailer tires on it but they are cracked and dry rotted to the point I dont want to use them much longer. Today I was junking a car with brand new tires on it. The tires are the same size as my tow dolly and the rims MAY even be the same bolt ...

 

You?ll almost certainly go over that weight. The usual advice here is to rent a truck with a tow dolly and pull your car behind the truck.

 

The Prius in not a lot different from other front wheel drive cars. I would tow it with the front wheels on a dolly trailer and cover the front to avoid stone schip damage from the rear wheels of the truck. Make sure the rental agency has an approved dolly and it does not hurt to let a mechanic check everything out before you leave.

 

Can a 2011 honda pilot touring FWD be towed on a tow dolly?

 

I just moved 1200 miles from NY to GA. I had a dolly on the truck and asked the owner of the rental place if I could tow my AWD 1999 Subaru Impreza on the two wheel dolly and he said ?no problem.? Well we got here and drove the car (drive fine) but noticed a horrific smell after about 15 minutes. I researched online and kept getting ?never tow an AWD on two wheels.? Having just moved I ...

 

I need to tow a manual transmission Triumph TR6 on a dolly for about 250 miles. Does the driveshaft need to be disconnected if I tow it with the front wheels on the dolly? Would it be better to tow it with the rear wheels on the dolly?

 

I?m renting a U-Haul truck to move 1300 miles and am trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to also rent a car dolly to tow my car or drive the car separately. The U-Haul site says the truck will average 10 MPG but how much will it get if towing a vehicle? In other words will towing cut the MPG to half or 5 MPG??? Thanks for any help or insight!

 

I have seen tow truck driver?s use the seatbelts to secure the steering wheel but even that was for just a short distance. If your car isn?t FWD spring for the extra money to get all four wheels off the ground. The price difference between the front wheel dolly and the full dolly isn?t worth the risk.

 

The best way to tow an automatic is to either disconnect the drivewheels from the tranny or to it with the drive wheels off the ground. You can rent a tow trailer and just put the whole car on it. That?s preferable to putting the rear end on a dolly and towing it backwards because you don;t have to worry about the steering.
