Towing the Max

Hi guys,

I have to trailer my Max about 400 miles, from Knoxville, TN. to Columbia, SC., which takes me through the mountains in North Carolina. I have two options for towing - the two wheeled "dolly" or the full trailer. Which would I want? It's a difference of $10, so that isn't the problem...I just don't know what will be best.

Thanks,

Jack

I would also make sure your tow vehicle has mud flaps or some sort of protection for the front of your car or else you're going to have a whole lot of rocks chips by the time you get there.
