Fuck a bunch of tow dolly noise for 2400 miles.
I did 3 cross PCS country moves after I was married, drove my vehicle to the new duty station, then took a hop or comair back to wife, then rented a truck and did a partial DITY move (guns, tools, motorcycles, HAZMAT, pets).
Used a tow trailer, way more secure, handles better, no wear and tear on the vehicle.
Was worth it in my opinion, and after DITY pay and milage I still made money.
I recommend
Penske over any other rental service.
Quoted: I am going back to the States in April.
I have to move my wife's car (an '05 Ford Focus) from NJ to Mountain Home, ID, a distance of aprox 2400 miles.
I have an '03 F-150 with a tow package...
I could:
Rent a U-haul tow dolly for aprox $400...
Rent a U-haul auto trailer for aprox $850...
Say the hell with it and hire an auto transport service for aprox $1300 on up...
The tow dolly is starting to look attractive... but can I damage my car by using it? I see RV's towing FWD cars using dollies all the time...
The non-drive wheels would be on the ground, so I dont see how towing it with the front drive wheels off the ground would kill it...
What are the disadvantages of using a dolly?
All the U-haul stuff has stickers syaing do not exceed 45MPH... This does not seem very practical.. In reality, I can do like 65 with it, I hope?
