Default Re: Taco Towing a Altima?

Hey there not the same vehicle but I towed a 79 Toyota Corona with an '89 4Runner. 3.0 and 5 speed from Fort Bliss Tx to Fayetteville NC.....cost me a 5 speed tranny...well at least two gears...I think you are towing more than your vehicle allows for approxiamtely #3500 and your vehicle now effectively has higher gears (32" vs a 30" or 235/70/15) lower numerically 3.90's are now closer to a 3.75ish.....I wouldn't do it, but thats just me....CSM-H

I need to tow my g/f's 05 Altima to Raleigh,NC from SLC,UT for the summer. I was planning to tow it with my 98 taco (2.7, 5sp. , reg cab, 4x4, 32in tires) using a tow dolley. the trip is mostly flat if I go through Arizona. The car weighs 3100lbs. I was going to buy a new dolley as I hear the rented ones are crappy, and $320 one way.
