If it's a steel trailer, be sure to take the long southern route, its flat, you'll need all the help you can get. The very cheapest and best way to do it is, fly-out, rent a U-haul moving van, load t

Sounds reasonable to me. I pulled a TR3 over 2000 miles on a single axle trailer, no brakes, behind a Chevy Citation with a 2.8 V6, through the Rockies, and had no trouble. However, I'd suggest chec
