Reminds me of when I made a 400 mile trip driving my 79 Jeep Cherokee Chief S while towing my 85 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Got a lot of funny looks, some laughs and many waves.

One of the Fort Pitt Land Rover Group members has a nice flatbed with a really cool multi-passenger cab just for hauling LR's. He can get two on it and seat a few riders inside.

When I picked up my RRC I was nervous about the engine cooling. Once all was loaded and I was on the highway I was towing about 5,500 lbs.

Trailer was a double axle heavy transport trailer weighing a tad over 1,000 lbs. and the RRC weighs in around 4,500. Mechanical brakes on the trailer.

With my 5 speed I was shifting back and forth between 3rd and 4th and had the heater on. This kept the temps down around 3/4 (of the white, not full temp range) and I got passed by a couple scooters but I made it home safe and no damage. IF your cooling system is questionable don't tow during the heat of the mid-day is my advice.

I towed my D1 cadaver truck home on a Uhaul trailer with my 98 D1. Had to tell Uhaul I was towing something small, I think I said a Plymouth Horizon, LOL. It was only about a 100 mile trip, not sure I'd want to do any more. No problems, though. As mentioned, allow plenty of time to stop.
