Yeah they are very stingy. Apparently a Geo metro requires a class 3 to tow. I don't know anyone with a larger truck, thats what sucks.

Does anyone know where else will lend a tow dolly?

I pulled my 97 sc 400 from tampa with a u haul f-150 and a u haul trailer like the one above and I had to lie and say it was a civic hatch because they would not let me tow even a es300 on it .The truck struggled towing a huge trailer with the sc on it .The dolly will take alot of stress off the truck.

why do you even want to take the chance? Just put out the money and your guaranteed to have a safely delivered SC.

4.3L is good enough to tow a car... and you own a truck... stop listening to the luxury ******* and do the damn thing...

I wouldnt even waste time unbolting the driveshaft... although it is easy, just a bit messy... put the sucker in neutral, have some of ur friends with you and push it up on a flatbed... not a flatbed truck... a flatbed and tow as usual.

Its an extra 6 feet or so of framework and 2 extra wheels... weight ~ 25-45 extra pounds.

haha... ya... cuzz tow truck services always take such great care in transporting a car... 90% of tow truck guys... and i have a few friends who work for tow yards who have told me this... hook it up knowingly incorrect, just to save themselves the extra 20 mins of struggle and back ache because they know theyre not going to get tipped most of the time.

i towed using an explorer i rented, they wouldnt let me connect it to the explorer, since U-Haul has there rules.

So we got an Astro van with a hitch, he told us what are you towing. I told him a civic. Got the tow bed to the explorer hooked it up and drove 1200miles. But I think the explorer is done for life, those hills in vermont really killed it.loool.

So basically 2 choices.

1. Get both rear wheels off the ground, take off your front bumper, and lock your steering wheel straight and tow. (easier on the tow vehicle)

2. Or get a full tow dolly and get all 4 wheels off the ground and tow. But the dolly itself weight over 1000lbs (harder on tow vehicle),

Dual axle car hauler from UHaul, less than $60. I towed mine with a 4Runner without missing a beat. Don't pull it on the ground.

go to harbor freight and buy a $50 TOW BAR disconnect 3 bolts on drive shaft and 2 bolts on drive shaft center bearig mark everythihng so you can reattatch in the right holes. i tow my sc all day long like this hell if u wanna be even safer buy the tow lights at harbor freight too there like 20 bucks i just tape IN TOW on the rear windshield of teh sc with white tape in big letters leave the emergency flashers on and go to town be safe travel late night.

our family flatbeds any car that needs towing ... lowest chance for damage that way

Yep I had the GS towed on a flatbed twice and I had no problems or complaints. I wouldn't accept anything less than a flatbed.

A little thread update, I'm looking to tow my SC in an enclosed trailer and I want to load the suspension preferably (I've heard it's safer than letting the suspension bounce when strapping to the wheels, control arms, etc.) Where's the best places to load the suspension up? My car is lowered too, so I'll want to avoid getting damage to the skirts

flat bed espically if your car is drop low
