Re: IML: Imperials on a tow dolly

[ViaJoaquin@xxxxxxx]

To go ten miles I doubt that you could save much money by going with a dolly over calling a tow truck. Imperials are very heavy, so it will have to be a pretty stout and wide dolly. Imperials are heavy, so it will need to be running in order to get it onto the dolly without a small army. Towing with the rear wheels on the ground risks damaging the automatic transmission. The rear overhang of 65 is probably too long to get the rear wheels on a dolly and the rear bumper will be awfully close to the ground with the front wheels on a dolly.

I would like to tow my 65 Lebaron from my old place to my new place and use a tow dolly (the two wheel trailer that only lifts the front wheels off the ground). I have a friend that says I shouldn't atempt this. I have looked on the website but havent found anything. My owners manual says its ok for short distances (as in my case about 10 miles).

Id like to hear any opinions.
