can an A-body tow?

Here's what I used to do when I needed to go get a car: I would go to Enterprise car rental and rent a brand new 1/2 ton Dodge truck for the weekend or a week (it's not that much and you can get unlimited mileage). Do NOT tell them that you plan to tow with it! (of course it's a "no-no" in the contract)

The trucks get great gas milege and they all have trailer hitch wiring from the factory. You can pull a car trailer without brakes on the bumper hitch. The bumper is solid enough and the braking system on the truck will handle it in the short term (long term is not your problem!). A car dolly will be a piece of cake. You will probably have to buy the bumper hitch ball and install it in the hole in the bumper. (Be sure to remove it before you return the truck!)

Once, I even got the truck that the company uses to tow their own stuff, so IT was equipped with a class three hitch and electric brakes!

After I learned how well the 1/2 ton Dodges tow, I bought myself one, but for years I rented one for every swap meet!
