Towing capacity

Anyone here think that I can tow my Dad's Rolls Royce from Las Vegas to St. Louis? I have a 98 F150

The car weighs 5005 pounds, I am really thinking no. I mean the specs clearly say I shouldn't, but I was wondering if anyone has pushed the limits?

If daddy's got a RR, drive it to him and let him fly you back home to your ride!

I think you might be able to.

1) You wont be going very fast (expect to be going about 60, maybe 65).
2) Youll get horrendous gas mileges (10MPG or less I would think...though it really depends on what you get now).
