    You'll need more than the weight due to resistance.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    If the car you are picking up is a rolling load
    The 2K might work because you are not pulling a long distance or up a steep grade
    BUT
    Most of the cars I pick up have a couple flat tires, OR rear brakes locked up, OR trans locked up, OR tires missing
    and so on and so and so on

    So unless you are loading a nice rolling load
    I don't think a 2K will cut it
