Hi all. I'm looking into the best way to transport a 68 FJ40 from Denver to Springfield, VA. I'm not going to drive it that far...because that would be brutal in that thing and I'm not sure it'd make it. Anyway, I haven't found a car rental agency that rents trucks w/hitches. I did check the Penske rental-truck website and they will rent a truck for about $1200 plus whatever the cost would be for a car carrier. They gave an option of using either a dolly or a car carrier. The dolly can handle up to 4300lbs while the carrier is limited to only 4055lbs. I don't know the weight of the FJ off the top of my head, but it seems to me it was somewhere in the area of 4000lbs. Also, their site recommends the usage of the carrier for rear-wheeled autos. Not sure if putting the thing in neutral would alleviate that problem.
Anyway, if someone out there has a better (ie. cheaper) way of transporting this across country, I would really appreciate hearing about it!
Thanks
Craig
