Whats the smallest vehicle youve used to tow a supra. Last time I was able to borrow a truck. This time I may have to use my cherokee, which has the power but suprisingly weighs almost 500lbs less than a mkIII. might need to tow one 140mi. no problem?
MKIII towing

I used a 4x4 s-10 to pull a sup home along with a mini van before.. You should be find as long as the truck is in good running condition.
As long as your trailer has it's own brakes, you should be fine. Take it easy accelerating is all.
All depends on how fast you wanna go. I've used my Mk3 to tow my SS on a couple occasions. Wasn't particularly fast going or very far, but it gets the job done. I have no doubt that my old Miata would have been able to limp home dragging a Mk3 if need be, but it was geared to climb mountains, so...
Is it being trailered or towroped?
I have done both, if its being trailered make sure you have adequet straps! Trailer brakes are a huge +
About 2 years ago, Going down a bumply road ~40 mile an hour, car bouncing around snapped a strap, fell off the trailer into my dads truck.
Luckily only the tailgate was damaged and it was a parts car on the way to the scrap yard:nono:
Could have been much worse.
You gotta get the big yellow straps with a 2000lb load, I used 4 or 5 500lb load straps and, well.. I always try to overkill when doing stuff like that from now on.
