What? I pulled my '84 190D 70-80 miles at 60-65mph with my Ranger on a tow dolly no problem. I disconnected the drive shaft and tied it out of the way first. Years ago I towed my '85 190D 200 miles on a tow dolly at 65-80mph with my Dakota with no problem. That was a manual trans so I just put it in neutral. I also towed a 4400# farm tractor 300 miles at 55mph with that same '96 Dakota although the tractor was on a flatbed.

Probably need an F350 or so in order to reasonably safely pull a car at that sort of speed.
