Towing with the saab would be better than the acra they heve some ridiculus 3500 pound tow cap
i just dragged my fc from san antonio to alamo autosports in dallas round trip was 6oo miles i dont think i could have stayed on the hiway with a smaller truck I rented a trailer that wasnt balance well so unloaded it wanted to bounce my truck around loaded it acted a little better i tow with a 4-door F-350 Deezle so i say just suk it up and pay other wise you'll end up with warranty headach and prolly a transmission thats never the same

One 6.0 L v8, crew cab 1500HD Silverado.
One 18ft open car trailer.
Two Mazda Rx7 convertables.

80 Gallons of Gas
Two bottles of water.
One Arby's Large Roast Beef and a side of curlys with a Jamocha shake.
One day to do it in.

Well, Ive towed my dads 66 chevelle in our POS Fairmont... up a mile long hill. He used to tow his 2 jet-skis with his NA 944. He's towed me in my FB with his 66 chvelle 4 door, with a gutless I-6 and powerglide, many times, up hills, wherever. If it were me, Id probably do it, but I do stupid things like that and usually get away with it. If its either me spending a bunch of money, or taking a risk of spending more money, well, Im a gambling man. Id go for it.
uhaul won't rent you even a dolly let alone a car trailer for an S-10 pickup or most light duty trucks anymore in fact due to their insurance prohibitions these days.
i know because i have tried to rent a simple dolly on 2 occasions to tow an FC with my '90 S-10 4X4 extended cab truck, they said the vehicle was too light. i then pointed out the window to my modded V6 on 9" lift with 33"TSL Thornbirds and they just shrugged. i then went down to a local rental yard and rented a dolly and drove to LA and back over some steep grades with it, go figure, too light my ***...

I'd suggest you get a friend with a truck to tow it.
