Car hauler or dolly? Which would you prefer?
#16
I had someone on another forum mention getting it shipped but I haven't looked into that yet, I always hear negative comments about shipping companies and it just makes me uneasy. My car is my baby and I have a hard time trusting someone with Sally.

I've seen both the dolly and trailer at U-Haul. Their tow dolly has no brakes and their car trailer has surge brakes. I know someone mentioned dollies with surge or electric brakes, but I have never seen one so equipped at a rental location.

I towed a KarmanGhia on a big trailer once..and almost didn't felt a trailer and car was there.
and it almost cost nothing more to tow then a regular empty trip.
open trailer are easy to tow...and won't put any strain on your truck.
Never like when I tow my 7500lbs toy hauler...and I do long trip (500mile one way)
planning to go to mid-ohio this summer from montreal(700mile) and the next week I go to the far east quebec(Past Sept-iles)..it's gonna be a 2500+miles in 3 week and I don't worry at all about the truck.

my only thing i'd recommend is if its not much more get an enclosed trailer car hauler.
Also you might ask what their schedule is like so you can make sure either you or someone is on both ends of the transport. Make sure you look over the car really well for any damages before you sign anything.

An enclosure trailer is a totally other game gaz wise
It would be pretty much the same as towing my toy hauler.
8-9mpg (maybe you can get 10mpg with a 3,73 if you're lucky)
The KarmaGhia I towed was completly restore and I done a couple km in gravel road and near 100km in back contry road and not a single problem...except a bit of dust on the car once at destination.
