Flat towing 65 Barracuda

Why not rent a U-haul. Last time I did it was $65 for a full trailer. Much cheaper than screwing it up.

What you are describing is trying to make a home made tow bar. In my experience, tow bars are not that easy to use. Sometimes the car being towed does not want to follow the one in front. You are trying to turn and the car you are towing is trying to go straight, or vice-versa. Lots of potential for something to go wrong.

Spend the money for a U-haul. It's much easier and cheaper than damaging your car with a home made rig.

I am going to be gone for 4 days on this trip and with my motor home I am expecting to be away for as long as a few weeks. At 65.00 a day that becomes impractical pretty quick. A tow dolly would make it easier but I don't have one and I don't at this time have the 800 bucks to buy one. I have towed a uhaul full trailer a few times and they put a pretty good strain on my Jeep so I would like to avoid that.

I am all ears if there is another suggestion for towing. Flat towing is a good option for me because it allows me to easily connect and disconnect the car.
