: Towing an 01 DMAX from NC to PA pl_silverado 05-13-2008, 01:37 PM I just bought another truck, and don't have a trailer to get it back. It doesn't run. Is there a tow bar i could use instead of having to pay someone or buy a trailer? radar1053 05-13-2008, 07:10 PM Could rent a dolly one way and try that? Just asking pl_silverado 05-13-2008, 07:25 PM Its a 4x4, and i'm not sure the dolly could handle the weight of the dmax on it. Dmax22 05-13-2008, 08:13 PM All you have to do for 4x4 is swith the trans and t case into neutral. wdebo 05-13-2008, 10:19 PM Can you Borrow a trailer from a friend Instead of buying one? RayMich 05-14-2008, 03:10 AM My truck's front axle weight is 4,000 lbs. I would see if a rental dolly can handle 4,500 lbs. If it can I would try that. As Dmax22 stated, with a 4x4, all you need to do is put the transfer case in neutral and you can flat tow the truck or tow it with a dolly. RayMich 05-14-2008, 04:47 AM Keep in mind that most states require brakes on the towed vehicle if it weighs more than 3,000 lbs, some require brakes as low a 1,000 lbs. So you may want to look for a dolly WITH BRAKES in order to legally tow a 7,000 lb Duramax, otherwise a trailer is your best bet.

BlackMariah 05-19-2008, 04:41 AM What's the cost on renting an open-bed car trailer 1-way? I rented one a few years back from U-haul to move a car chassis locally. I beleive it was about $50 a day. 1-way is probably a higher cost. pl_silverado 05-19-2008, 10:14 AM ^ I have a rented uhaul i used for a trip last week. It's too small and not heavy duty enough for a truck of this size. 03demax 05-19-2008, 11:48 AM I live in middleburg pa and have a trailer that would work 570-274-2057 03demax 05-28-2008, 08:29 AM pl_silverado rented my trailer and was great to do business with. He brought my trailer back better than he left with it. He found a short in the marker lighting for me. Great guy, see you at the BUCK june 21. pl_silverado 05-28-2008, 10:10 AM ^ I'll see you there buddy. Im trying to get my truck ready for the pull. Thanks again!! | ||
