I am transferring job locations back to oregon, and i need to travel from kansas city missouri. I am curious if my 1994 k1500 blazer 4wd can tow my 2door 1998 honda civic hx. the car is roughly 2,350lbs, and the uhaul flatbed trailer is around 2,200lbs. when i look up my blazers towing capacity all i can find is it supposedly can tow 7,000lbs. I will be driving over the rocky mountains, steens mountains, blue mountains, all sorts of hills and mountains through wyoming etc. I was thinking of towing it on a dolly, to reduce the weight, but my dad recommends i use something with trailer brakes. I dont have a brake controller, and i dont really have time to go get that sort of thing installed. I think the uhaul flatbed has surge brakes, but it weighs substantially more than the dolly. Does anyone have any insight here. My blazer is basically completely stock, has 135k miles on it, it is the 5.7l TBI motor. Not sure what gears i have in the rear, i know i have a G80 but i dont know the gear ratio. Anyone here recommend a dolly over a flatbed, or a flatbed with surge brakes over a dolly? or think that my truck might not be up to the task? any help would be appreciated for this situation. sorry if i am posting something that is already posted somewhere, this stuff all just kind of came up, and now im in a scramble.
