I used to tow my C2 'vette race car (about 4000# with trailer) with another
C2 (about 3200#). Worked fine. Coulda used a deeper first gear, but no
real problem. Be SURE that the trailer tongue load is adequate though. Had
a very close escape from destruction by towing another trailer that was too
light on the tongue.
