That sounds to me like a very risky way to tow. Can you get away with it - yeah - maybe if and only if everything goes right all the time under all conditions you might find yourself in.
It wouldn't be my cup of tea.

The Olds Toronado was a much different animal than the FW drive mini vans of today!
GM used that front end (V8 and suspension to make a RV from (I believe) 1968 to 1974. Many of which are still on the road. It was a unique low riding RV.
I wish I had one!
Bob,
You are real close, the production of 12921 ran from MY 1973 to 1978.
Yes, the floor is 13" over the road and we didn't even bother using a step until I damaged a knee.
The front suspension is a lot like a Toro of the period, but there are very few interchangeable parts.
We know were about 8500 are today and most of those are still in service.
They do real well on dry pavement, but like any front wheel drive, the weight transfer works against us when trying to go in slippery places.

A sailor, his bride and their black dogs (one dear dog is waiting for us at the bridge) going to see some dry places that have Geocaches in a coach made the year we married.
