tow 91 mr2 turbo with 91 4wd pickup
 

Is this possible? Is it a good idea? I'd like to do this with a UHaul car transport trailer, one of the ones that would entirely load the mr2, so mr2 has 4 wheels on trailer. What are your thoughts on this?

22re or 3vze? I towed a 91 4Runner with my 92 4Runner on a dolly, with no problems. 120 mile trip. Just take it slow and leave yourself room to stop at all times.

22RE, specified that in the previous attempt at posting before teh internet ate the post... :/

It's been suggested that the dolly would be preferred over the trailer for my adventure, but the tow car has cranky tires, and I worry about a blowout, or a flat during the tow, and would feel safer putting it all the way up on a trailer.

I'm just concerned that I may run into problems with the trailer and was wondering if anyone has experience with this particular combination and can lend input.

Thanks for your input regarding using a dolly!

No problem, and good luck with the trip. Welcome to YT.

How the heck can you say that?

You don't know the weight of the car or trailer or terrain or the distance.

You might be able to tow 3500 lbs safely under ideal conditions.

A dolly might be better.

Towing would be possible but stopping might be another issue. Trailer brakes?

I was saying 'no problem' to him thanking me for the input in my first post. You should read the entire thread before posting.

Trailer has trailer brakes on it.

Did read the whole thread. Just didn't keep track of all the posters and their comments.

That's why quotes come in handy.

Well if you have a brake controller in your truck, that should make things much safer. Again, good luck with the haul. Sometimes U-Haul wont rent out equipment to you if they feel your rig can't handle the load. Just something to keep in mind.

There, I multi-quoted this post so you wont have a hard time following along.

I'm aware that they do that, I'm not too worried about that from UHaul, I just want to make sure the truck is capable of it before I sign myself up for trouble. The trailer has a brake controller, by means of the tongue actuating it.

Dont tell UHAUL what you are hauling or your tow rig. They wouldnt let me tow an 86 4runner with a 2002 tundra....

Be nice to know just where you are going and how far.

The extra weight of the trailer leads me to say no. Having done this the better part of 30 years .

I myself have towed 4x4 Toyota Pickups with my 87 4Runner on a tow dolly. I think the trailer is just to much added weight .

Then again I don`t know if you can tow a MR2 with the rear wheels on the ground you might have to load it nose to the rear.

I pull the rear driveshafts on the truck or you will destroy the transfer case.:camp2:
