Is It Possible To Tow A Vehicle Hundreds Of Kilometers? by Dwightventures(m): 4:07am On May 08, 2023
Hi there. In the search for a vehicle to purchase one can find their perfect match but which is far away.

Is it a normal thing to tow a vehicle on Nigerian highways from say Kano or Abuja to say Lagos? More importantly how much would it cost, for a normal salon car ("sedan" has taken over in Nigerian lingua) and for a massive jeep like the Landcruiser.

Thank you

You can't tow a 4WD vehicle for 100s of miles, you will spoil the transmission and the rear axle. Use a flat bed instead.

Abuja to Lagos should cost about 200 to 300k depending on company ptofessionalism.

Better load it in a truck and offload at destination

Thanks for the input. Is it something they do in Nigeria? Where does one get the truck for this purpose?

Some trucks moving load from lagos to the north go back sometime almost empty, that's your target ,
