towing

I would suggest you find a friend with a truck to drive you to the cars.
You then can drive the runner home and the friend can tow the roller.
This allows you to bring tool with you and if the runner has a problem on the way you will have a few options to deal with the issue.

bad idea. you are going to need a truck with a trailer for the non runner. If you were talking about a mile or so it might happen but not 3 hours.

I have no doubt it could do it but it would put alot of strain on a car that is in unknown condition. FWIW, my FB towed my Repu (about 2800lbs or so) around the neighborhood
