i need to tow my 4WD pickup about 150 miles. what's the best way to do it? tow dolly? flat trailer? i'd rather not flat tow it. should i disconnect the drive shaft?

my tow vehicle is a 2WD toyota tundra 3.4L.

never had to tow a vehicle this big or RWD so i'm a noob about all of this.

thanks

Flat trailer. Put it in nuetral and tie it down properly. Tie each axle down near the wheel and cross to the opposite side of the trailer.

thanks for the input. i tried to flat trailer it but none were available. used a tow dolly instead. easy enough, only snag were the stupid straps (too short). thankfully i brought along my multipurpose chain.

tundra cruised like nothing. 55-65 the whole way in 4th gear. braking did get a little scary at times though.
