Re: [T3] towing a squareback?


I towed one over 800 miles last month on a tow dolly. Uhall even had to know
what kind of car I was towing. They didn't list a square, but a Notch and
Fasty were listed, go figure. And said it couldn't be a automatic, so if
this is a automatic lie and do like jessie says and it will be ok

NOTE:
Our cars are kinda of short, and my square was lowered somewhat, so this can
give it a sharp angle to the ground. Somewhere in Lousainsa I lost the
muffler and part of the header on the rough A$% I-10.  I was going to
replace that anyway. Be carefull on the rough roads. I thought I was going
to have to replace a kidney after that streach of road.

Good luck
