I have a 2000 Blazer 4X4. Can I tow a 1997 Deville with a car dolly about 350 mile? If not, why please?

You shouldn't have any problem tow the car providing you vehicle is running just fine. Just take off a little easier and brake earlier. I wouldn't recommend using cruise control, though.

Also if you have time before hand i would suggest a secondary tranny cooler. I did this before i towed my camper with the blazer and before i went trailing in it. Just a little added help for the tranny.
