towing advice please

<< < (4/4)

This is probably a bit late but nobody has mentioned that althougha  bar is better thana  rope it's only a bit better.
If in a dead straight line it will hold the second car back but the whole set up can still adopt a Z shape and run into each other.

As has been suggested the best way by far is a dolly or a trailer; two points ot one car and one to the other.

Ropes and bars work but you have to be very careful with both, some of the posts just seem to read that a bar removes all the worries.

got towed from paris to calias down a motorway at 80mph to catch a ferry interesting time was had by all

jjsaul:
have been towed and have towed people, using ropes everytime, but the furthest was about 2 miles back home.

i use a 12 ton rope with nice big shackles. only thing that was worrying once when towing a friend with a dead Audi A2....the towing eye which screws into the front of her car...got her back home and it had undone itself about 4 turns  :shock:
