quick tow question?
im moving to florida to attend UTI MMI ( marine mechanics) and im leaving in JAN.
i have a 95 xj with 3in lift 30in tires. everything else is stock.
the car that i might be towing is a 02 lexus IS300 which is RWD.
can i tow that car with a car dolly on the jeep if the car is in N and the rear wheels on the ground and the front wheels on the dolly. Or do i have to get a full car dolly and if so would the xj be okay doing so.
if towed cars before but with a f250 and a chevy 3500van and it was a reg 2 wheel car dolly.
so if anybody can help me out pleas do so. thanks for looking
happy holidays

I don't know anything about the Lexus. Is it FWD? Is so, the dolly would be fine, and the XJ will be able to handle it with no problems.

yea put the car in neutral front wheels on the dolly make sure your straps are very tight and you should have no problem as always with a dolley after driving a while keep checking your straps and re tightening them u haul dollys are good towing very safe i towed an xj with another xj no problems at all

I'm not sure how anyone thinks this is remotely safe but sure it can be done... not safely in any way but yeah it can be done.
Just like I could tow my XJ with my Ford Ranger, doesnt mean its safe.

Whenever I had to tow something and didn't know if it could be done I go to the uhaul site and just look it up.......it's pretty easy

Yeah, you can do it, but its not safe. You are pushing the towing limits of your truck, a truck with crappy brakes.
Just be careful if you have to, give yourself plenty of room to stop.
