| | A trailer is far and away the safest way to tow the truck. Its worth the little extra money to rent. | |

| | With a trailer, you have piece of mind knowing a blow out with be fixed by rental company, you save wear and tear on your truck, and you can the truck full of more goods and even cover the truck on the trailer. | |

| | Trailers are much better for towing a rear wheel drive vehicle also. Spinning the transmission like that from using a dolly can cause major transmission problems. Doesn't usually unless you have an older vehicle, but it's better to be safe than sorry. If you do drag the drive wheels on a rear wheel drive vehicle take the driveshaft out but leave the yoke in the transmission or transfer case output to save your tranny fluid and a big mess. If you're only going like 20-50 miles it's not bad, but 1700 miles of being spun from the wrong end is never good for a transmission. Another reason why manual transmissions are superior to automatics if you know how to drive them properly. Even if you don't you will likely learn far before you damage it if you're not incompetent. Ok now I'm just rambling a bit off subject as usual...I do not have too many people to talk to who have anywhere near the interest in trucks and towing as I do, even in my own family which does as much as me. They just do it cause they need to, I do it because I love it. That's why I found this site... | |
