Towing a car with 2.5L
My buddys car is broke down right now and needs to be pulled home later tonight (about 5 to 8 miles). Its an acura rsx fairly small. You think my 2.5L could get him home safe with a recovery strap?

Re: Towing a car with 2.5L
Oh ya, you'll be fine. Just take your time. I'd make sure your buddy is good to buy you a new bumper if he hits you while pulling him.

Re: Towing a car with 2.5L
I don't think he'll want to do that..He just got this thing repainted and recovered after being totaled.
I'll be sure to take pictures! haha

Re: Towing a car with 2.5L
My 2.3 pulled my 1/2 ton chevy a few miles just fine, only did about 40mph but still pulled it, you should be fine!
