Answer 1

Yes you can tow your car behind the f250 you just need to get a car haller from a moving place such as U haul  

Answer 2

You can rent a tow bar, or tow dolly (much preferred)

You can do the math to figure out if it is worth it.

Answer 3

Depending on if its a old bug or a new one! If it's a old one u can bye a tow bar for out of a vw mag or possible order one out of a parts house. If it is a new bug u can get a tow dolly from ur local u-haul since it's a front wheel drive car and u will have no problem towing it with that truck!

Answer 4

There's a place where like uhaul does it or penskete does it for you. You may need this before you do anything on your own:  http://www.motorcyclecarrier.net/rv_tow_...

This one is for an RV but if it takes an rv then a bug would be nothing to your truck.

But, yes, your vehicle must have lockable steering. Check your owner’s manual if unsure. Tow dolly cannot be used to tow mid- or rear-engine mounted vehicles. Tow dolly must be attached to truck before loading your vehicle onto your truck. Your vehicle must be centered with its front end on the tow dolly facing forward. Never back a vehicle onto a tow dolly. Rear-wheel, four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles must have drive shaft disconnected and removed. Consult your auto dealer. Do not load possessions, people or pets in your towed vehicle.

Answer 5

Yes, you would need to buy a car trailer. They sell them open or enclosed. The enclosed or covered ones are real expensive, probably the cost of your bug. You could get an open trailer for pretty cheap. Is it the new or old bug? In the long run just drive your bug. Gas is back down to $3.89 a gallon and the "gas scare" is over.

Answer 6

Yes, it's possible, But the money you would spend on fuel for the truck and renting a trailer or a tow bar would add up more than just driving both vehicles.

Answer 7

go to a U haul or moving truck rental place, and rent a car dolly, it will keep the front tires of your bug off the ground, so you wont have to worry about anything with the bug, That F250 should pull that car no problem
