I have towed a Westy from Columbia Ca to San Jose with a 92 Toyota PU. About
125 miles.

Never again. It was dicey going down those  mountains and hills.

Of course when I  moved in with my GF, I used her Dodge 1500 to tow it about
7 miles. I forgot to release the parking brake and boy were those hubs hot!
The Dodge didn't notice it at all.
