I am about 120% positive that this cannot be done. The axle/driveline speed would be ridiculous. The tires are not rated for the speed and even reverse towing would destroy the front end. They are simply not designed with this in mind. Go rent a U-haul trailer, lie like mad about what you will be towing (ie 98 Saturn SL1 1700lbs) for $49 dollars a day and go for it. Just beware of the 4000lb limit and 77 inch wide maximums. I have heard that 5800lbs is possible on a U-haul trailer but don't let 'em see you doing it. The U-haul rigs trailer like a dream, have good tie-down points, and come with integral ramps. Beware lights have to work before you leave and a credit card may be required. Just don't rent through Freeway Citgo in LaVale, MD or you will be sorry. Just trust me on this one.
