I need to pull a recent purchase a 95 f150 4x4 reg cab long bed home witch is about 10 miles I have a couple options but a car dolly is looking the best right now.

my question is what kinda tongue weight can I expect? I dont think it would be that much. I dont have a receiver so I have to use my bumper.

If I have to I can get a car hauler but it would be pulled by a chevy

 

Your bumper should be able to handle a #500 tongue weight and #5000 'trailer'...

I don't suspect there will be much in the way of tongue weight either, as the design of a tow dolly is to put all the weight over it's tires.

Now, your total weight will be close, but for only 10 miles, I wouldn't even think twice of it.... Heck, I'd probably just flat tow the thing with a tow strap! Of course, the 95 needs to be able to steer and brake and you need another person who won't rear end you!

Good luck!

Tow dollys have got to be about the worst way to tow anything.
If you have access to a trailer, I'd recommend it.

 

Dollies are ok for a short distance with no backing up involved. FWD is much easier than dealing with putting the vehicle in neutral or removing the driveshaft.

 

For just 10 I would back it up there, turns better be wide too

I pulled a little car 600 miles with one, started out at 60mph but by mile 400 I was running 75+. You will be fine.

One time on the freeway I saw a Ice Cream truck pulling a Cheve Dually on one!!!!

 

I towed an 85 RX-7 (RWD, manual trans, 2400 pounds, plus spare pars/tires inside) for about 800 miles, Detroit to Boston in neutral. I upgraded the tow vehicle brakes before that trip, but it was an easy drive. You'll have a lot more weight to stop.


For 10 miles, I'd probably use a tow strap.

 

Tow straps are not legal in very many places, a local one day rental for a dolly shouldn't cost much.
