Is this one project the only use you anticipate for the hitch? If so, I would hire a roll-back and have them move your car. That can't cost much more than having a hitch installed. If you have other uses for the hitch, go for it. Fifty miles of overload won't cook your tranny, but be VERY CAREFUL about stopping this rig.
