Quick flat tow question
Hey all Im heading to Idaho this weekend in my 98 eddie bauer explorer. I have pulled a lot of things with other vehicles that were already setup for towing. On the explorer I dont have a tow package just the bumper which says its rated for 3500 pds. A Scout II weighs around that much. Id like to tow it with a tow bar back from Idaho to here in Kansas which is around 1100 miles. So here are the questions.
1. Can I do that with the bumper not a tow package? It says its rated for that weight but I didn't know if that actually meant much.
2. Think Ill utterly destroy my 6 cylinder? I have over drive I can turn off.
Any help or suggestions would be great. I need to move this scout or sell it which I dont want to do.
