WTBorrow-a tow dolly....

Post by Don Salyers »

Ebay got me again---need to borrow a tow dolly to go and pick-up a 1965 Ford Ranchero in Idaho....

Would like to leave Fri, Sat or Sunday be back 4 or 5 days later... U-Haul wants a pre-inspection of both the tow and towed vehicles...the Ranchero is in parts (alot of parts) and can't be inspected.

If you cant find anything in your neck of the woods, I have one here in the Alpine community of San Diego County. You would want to find the width of the vehicle to be towed because my tow dolly is not as wide as some I have seen.

I have the 2 wheel dolly I've been towing the prius and miata around on, you've probably seen it before. No brakes, flat four plug. If you can promise to have it back to me by the 17th, you can take it (huntington beach).

Safety chains need to be replaced, but I've been using them anyways (maybe that can be price of rental).

With the Ecoboost Ebay: 330666794792

It goes to EM----but should be one fast tow vehicle. The Ranchero weighs 2900 with the 289, so, I would guess about 2800 with the Ecoboost. Probably 25 mpg and 0-60 in about 5 sec.

Now where am I going to find the extra 10 grand---QV the cost to co-drive just went up-- }:)
