How do i get a supra sunsport 1991 form maryland to maine with no truck.
1. Rent a truck $300-500
2. Buy a truck $1-10000, a used SUV or truck?
3. Borrow a friends truck, Free.

Now my problem i'm leaving in 4 days, so buying one would be hard.
rent a truck would be instant expense. borrowing a truck would be a hard thing to do, who would let there friend borrow there truck for 2+ weeks and over 1500 miles?

Alternatives???

Looks like renting is your best option, make sure to have a extra wheel bearing or two on hand, spare tire, jack etc. Maryland to Maine is a long hall! Best of luck. Where in Maine are you located?

Sometimes U-haul has deals. Probably more truck than you need, but they tow just fine. Good luck.

I second that trailer gear, you never know when you'll need it. Have a great trip, sounds like fun.......
Boat's add instant expense as well!!!!!!!!LOL

I went through 3 tranny's in my 1996 dodge truck. Other than that never had a problem. It was 4X4 to, and playing in ditches was the thing to do after school.

My wife had two, 99 and 01 - both 2wd w/ 5.9L v8. Drank fuel like a fish, but a good tow vehicle. No major mechanical issues, but did like to eat front ball joints. 3rd bench was great for soccer momming, but now downsized to a 4runner (twice the gas milage).

What is the site where users of hauling trucks offer to set up hauls for you?? Someone link that up.
