Will I be okay towing a RWD backwards in my dolly? (Two rear wheels off ground, fonts on ground)
It's an automatic and doesn't start.

I would think you need to lock the front wheels in the straight position.Jayson Woodruff wrote:Will I be okay towing a RWD backwards in my dolly? (Two rear wheels off ground, fonts on ground)

Re: Backward dolly tow?
Yeah, figured that out 10ft off the drive way. Also note, steering wheel doesn't lock until you put the car back in to park (20min to figure that out).Tom Denham wrote:I would think you need to lock the front wheels in the straight position.Jayson Woodruff wrote:Will I be okay towing a RWD backwards in my dolly?

If I were you Jay, I'd back up that steering wheel lock with a ratcheting tie-down.Jayson Woodruff wrote:Yeah, figured that out 10ft off the drive way.
