4 cyl waterboxer 90hp underpowered engine + towing another 3000lb vehicle for 100 mi. = recipe for disaster...

youd be better off towing it with a honda civic or the like.. do you have another car? not to mention U-haul wont rent you anything for this application.. they dont want to be liable when you nuke your engine..
