Stay off the hiways !!!

Anyone see anything wrong here?? So I'm moving to North Carolina in the spring and I'm thinking of towing my G/F's Altima which weighs approx. 3100 lbs. Now I'd be towing it with my tacoma (3000lbs. 4x4,reg cab, 5 speed) with a 2.7 liter 4 cylinder that produces 155 Horsepower and 177 lbs of torque. Is this a really bad idea?

Anyone know what the terrain is like?
I realize the rockies would not be fun but after that could I get up to freeway speeds?

do I have to use a tow dolley or could I take off the CV's and tow it with a towing bar setup?
and where could I buy this stuff if you? (the reader don't have it for sale.)

FYI... this is an ad I found on a Utah newspaper!!!
