It will be fine. Just take it slow and be sure to keep O/D turned off.
Does the trailer have brakes? Even if it doesnt, just be sure to take it nice and slow since its only 20miles.

Ok so the Liberty towing capacity is 5000 pounds. My buddy is building an eclipse race car. It has no tranny, and no engine in it. The trailer weights 1400 pounds. I assume the liberty can do it no problem....we are going about 20 miles down the street. Thoughts?> Joe |

Thoughts?> Joe I was thinking the towing cap.was 3500lbs on the gas libby?Either way I think you should be alright towing it,even if the car had a motor and tranny.I'm guessing the car does'nt weigh much more than 2000lbs,just be careful and take your time.
