U-Haul used to rent dual axle trailers. If loaded properly it should tow fine. Andy Mace and I used to tow with a rather basic single axle trailer with no complaints either. (Andy even did a hair raising 12 hour trip successfully) Again, getting the car loaded so you have a proper tongue weight is the key! ==AM== OMG, memories of towing...the stories I could tell.... :-) Over the years, I've towed about every way possible, save for use of a rollback flatbed or traditional "hook" tow truck (although I've had them done, it was by professionals). But for doing it myself: 1. good tow vehicle (not your neighbor's old Peugeot wagon with a Kmart trailer hitch) 2. solid, safe trailer big enough to hold whatever vehicle (icnluding the above Peugeot wagon, in my case, to "rescue" my then-father-in-law!) Personally, I feel that if the car can't be driven, and you're going more than about 20 miles, it deserves to be on a trailer (or a flatbed truck, or even in a U-Haul box truck if you're clever). I see them used all the time, but I'm just not a fan of dollies for the long haul. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
