    My other vehicle which is actually my wife's 2011 Corolla. So my situation here is that my tundra is still out of commission. But I need to get a flat file cabinet from old house in country to regretfully a condo lease in the city. Ugh!
    I have some great ingenuity but I am wondering if I can tow a tiny , tiny trailer with a three hundred pound cabinet on it . Total weight would be about 6 hundred pounds with tiny trailer. I am not really concerned if I should but my options are limited as I don't have any friends with a truck. I was the only one . I am not going to rent a truck for over a hundred dollars for a rental.
    I have seen those people that buy cars at auctions and they have two or three cars all hooked together traveling down the freeway.
    Question is once I remove bumper will I have some holes ready to go or will I have to drill some ? Also it sounds plausible , will look super ghetto . Actually really redneck. But I am what I am and no one can take that away from me. Also I definitely don't want her car to look like I did anything when I am done.
    What do y'all think on this endeavor? Stupid, crazy, little of the both?

    How much is this hitch going to cost you? Looks like Corolla towing capacity is 945-1020 lbs. That should be more than enough for what you are doing.

    Home Depot rental trucks are $19 for 75 minutes.

    Uhaul looks like it’s $19.95 a day plus $0.59 per mile for a pickup truck.

    I have one already . Last time I rented from home Depot was for one town rental. GPS in vehicle to prove my lie that I only used it in one area. Doh! Uhaul is the same but I guess it's worth another try. As with AL Bundy shit does happen and so it does with me. Thank you sir!

    I would just rent a truck and be done with it.
