I have a 93 s13 hatch, with the ka motor. Will it tow another 240 sized vehicle on a car dolly? Thanks. ---

Believe it depends on the vehicle you are towing if you wanna tow it legally. I would not recommend it though. ---

I wouldn’t recommend it especially since your going all the way back from BC. That’s a long way to go, the car might be capable of doing it, but I still wouldn’t recommend it. A lot of things could go wrong. ---

okay, thanks guys, there is enough of you saying no, to scare me away from doing this… ive called uhual and looks like the rental truck and trailer is going to cost me $2500… but seems like its the only choice i have. ---

OOOORRR Find a good deal on a used truck. Then tow the bitch back here. Then throw the truck up for sale here. You might even be able to make some money since it will be from BC and having no rust. ---
