RE: IML: U-Haul vs private carrier

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

As I think others have already pointed out, there is a weight limit on those
"tow dollies" - I seem to recall it is safe for vehicles that weight 3500
pounds or less.   Also, it is very tricky and unsafe to tow a 6000 pound
vehicle with a truck that weighs less than that, and this applies regardless
of the trailer design.  No car is worth risking your life for!

Case in point. When I purchased a '58 Plymouth wagon (122" wheelbase), it 
did not fit any trailer available from U-Haul, Ahern, Hertz, etc. The tow 
dollies did not look substantial enough for the Plymouth, though I do not 
know how much a 1948 Imperial weighs.
