Emergency towing a 2007 IS250 auto rwd
Good afternoon everyone,
My daughters 07 is250 rwd auto lost its transmission about 3.5 hours from me and I need to tow it to my house to work on it. She is a student and does not want to pay a wrecker gobs of money to get it here and either do I. The question I have, can I tow it with a tow dolly? Worried my truck cannot handle the weight on a trailer, so a tow dolly would be best. Can this be done? what do I need to disassemble to not do anymore damage? Thanks
Dave

Thanks, that is likely what I am going to do, just thought I read someplace I have to drop the drive shaft to tow, which will have to come off with the trans swap anyway. A dolly and my smaller truck would work great if I can do it that way. I am not a fan of borrowing other folks vehicles to use a full trailer

Read the owners manual it tells you how to tow safely.
