All - thanks for the extremely informative replies. I'll be looking for a
steel car hauling trailer with surge brakes. I've hauled cars before,
just nothing quite so heavy behind my truck (did a big dodge sedan on tow
dolly behind a 20 foot rental truck).
I plan on driving 50-55 on the way back - it is flat, should be dry, I'll
be careful with leaving lots of stopping distance, like I have to when
driving on ice.
I hope to pick it up Saturday, so I'll let folks know what the outcome of
that trip is afterwards!
Thanks again,
Paul
