I will tow my 1993 Nissan 240SX with a 2005 Toyota Sienna FWD from my home to race track (about 300 miles) about once a month. The max tow capacity of Sienna is 3500lbs and 240SX is 2700lbs. The tow dolly should be around 500lbs.
Total tow should be 2700+500 = 3200lbs. I think it should be fine with 6 extra rims/tires in the back trunk of Sienna.
I know getting a pickup truck and a trailer is my best solution, but I don't have enough garage space for storing a trailer. So, tow dolly is my best option right now.
I am very new to towing/tow dolly. Could you confirm these are all I need for towing my 240SX with Sienna?
