Cheapest option is rent a trailer from a servo and hook it up to said falcon.

If you mean can a ford flat tow it, yes it will, but its illegal and if the car you are towing is an auto it will f**k the auto.

Try this guy, roachs towing service 97863375 or 0414863375 me and my mates have used him a few times, good service and isnt much (if any) more than hiring a trailer but saves all the hassles.

Ford will tow it without a problem and it wont f**k the Auto. I have towed many cars with fords and como's. The braked towing capacity is usally about 1600kg. If you exceed this it is illeagal. find out the recomended braked towing capacity first.

You only need to ask yourself this question. Is the cost in fuel, trailer hire and wear and tear, rachet straps and risk of damage less than getting a tow truck. If yes tow yourself. Call around and get your prices for trailer hire costs etc. Then call Jack and only Jack from City Wide towing and tell him your a member of SAU and ask for a quote for a tow, his number is 0419 877 437.

Good luck with it all.

I've got a ford falcon and have hired a trailer many times and pulled cars, it's no biggie and wont hurt the auto

both of you mention a trailer, that is not flat towing, also as i said, if you flat tow and car being towed has an auto trans it will f**k the trans.
