I wouldn't do it.
Sounds kinda.. small..

It might work, but I still would look for something better.

What, your Ranger's broken and you want to use that car to tow it home?

Sure, it would strap it home no problem.

Well if your just going into town with it, it should make it.
But don't take our word for it, if you get going and it feels like its not gonna work, I would quit and find a friend with something better for the job.

$24 for a tow? Thats not bad. Just do it that way. You will spend more on the hitch for the sportage.

Only 24 for a tow? A local tow in my area is like 50. That's a good deal, you should just do that and have the truck moved the safe way. Otherwise you could just make sure the thing is full of clean oil/coolant and get it home as quick as possible.

Dude you have no idea! Down the street from me there is this car wash that recently installed a "Dog Wash". It's a sealed room that's heated in the winter and cold in the summer with tile floors and a drain in the middle. There's a rubber apron you can wear and everything in there and I think it's like 5 bucks to run the thing. Apparently it's a big thing around here because every time I go there to wash my car someone's always using it.
