Default Towing 1994 xjs convertible

Was gonna tow on uhaul transport but ramps were farther apart than wheel base and worried about 3inch trim in trailer taking out front of underside of car.
What can you use to tow?

Welcome to the Forums.

The XJS members will have answers.

Rear wheels off the ground in my opinion, or a flatbed.

When I picked up my XJS in So Cal I rented a heavy duty car carrier from U Haul. The car went onto the trailer easily and I had no problems towing it with my F150. The regular car carrier was deemed too light to carry the Jag. Try to get it lined up as straight as possible when loading and have someone watch carefully as you back it down the ramps. It could end in tragedy if the car slips off of the ramps backing down.
