      Hello Everybody,

      So basically, I have an old Chevy Cavalier at my moms house that I would like to tow to where I live 265 miles away. I am trying to look for the cheapest way to do this.

      I currently have a zip car membership, I found out I can rent a Toyota Tacoma (Couldn’t determine the year, but it is most likely a newer model.) To rent for the entire day for $105.00, gas included. The only catch is I would need to drive back to drop it off. (Not a huge deal, I like long drives.)

      My question is, would I be able to tow my Cavalier with this truck? The Cavalier weighs about 2600lbs if I remember correctly. I don’t know anything about towing, so I don’t know if this truck would be equipped to tow my car, or if I would have to get something to equip the car so it can tow.

      Could anyone give any advice?

      BTW: I looked into Uhaul / Budget rent-a-truck. It would be around 350 bucks. If this zip car thing works it would be around 200 bucks.

        you’d be fine towing a cavalier with a toyota tocoma.

        I towed a honda civic with a hyundai sonata from Louisiana to Michigan using a U-Haul tow dollie. :whistle:

          Agreed-but the tow dolly is the key and the Toyota would have to be able to connect with the dolly. Don’t forget to check local laws about towing as far as brake lights, turn signal etc. on the towed vehicle. Police love to write those tickets!
