[Vwdiesel] tow tow tow your boat

I have a friend attempting to tow back a non-running Diesel Caddy from 
Alabama to Dallas.  His two options to get it here are: 1986 Jetta NA 
Diesel, and a 1997 Toyota RAV4 with a 5 speed and a 2.0 litre engine.  
I'm suggesting to him that the Jetta is a poor choice.  Any hope on 
either count?  I've been in a Caddy only once and never tried to tow 
one.  I'm going to loan him a tow bar because U-haul etc. won't rent him 
one because they say he can't do it with those cars.  I don't want to 
set him on his way to blowing up his wife's Toyota.  Shame you can't 
just go down to Hertz or whomever and rent a Ford F100 cheap.  It'd make 
it much easier to tell all these people here in Texas they really don't 
need a 3500 Cummins 4X4 ton truck to haul a few potted plants back from 
the nursery once a year.
