I purchased a minicab about 300 miles from my home, i am going to pick it up this weekend, does anyone know if you can use a towbar and how i could do it, or do i need a trailer.
thanks for any help
use the search feature...There are a lot of threads about "towing"
I think it would be alot safer to use a trailer rather than trying to tow it.

I've towed a Misubishi for several miles around town, with a towbar 'jerry-rigged' to the tow hooks behind under the front bumper. But unless it's equipped with, a front-mounted receiver hitch, so there's a solid achor point, I'd advise against it.

local rental is usually really cheep

Definetly disconnect the drive shaft. You do not want that thing to acidently pop into gear.
