towing 4x4's

Jun 07, 2005 24 Replies

Uhaul has an interactive website I see. They won't rent me one if I'm pulling my S-10 with an S-10. So I guess thats out. From what I can tell, this is also true if I want to use a vehicle trailer. I don't guess its necessarily illegal, but I would guess their engineers are covering their ass from possible lawsuits.

oh, and I have a tough time getting my tcase into 4lo on purpose!

just tellem your gona tow a litle car. Must be trying to cover there a$$ so that they know you?ll be able to properly operate safely. I haven?t seen anyone post this but remember if your loading both trucks up with boxes and stuff it wont be to hard get to the maximum tow weight. Also i dont know how true this is but I was told that when you flat tow or use a dollie your tow weight is reduced due to all the geometry especially if youre turning alot. Like i said i was just told that , don?t know how tru it is.

do you put transmission in neutral after stopping? Ought to go right into 4Lo. Check the fluid and bearings, also linkage.

just about THE WORST advice. Ever.

Yes, it's been done with a Jeep. No, it's not advisable. There's no proper provision for tieinng the vehicle down, for one thing.
