I am picking up a parts car to take the bevel gear out. Propshaft is still connected.

Can I tow it by the front wheels in a uhaul tow dolly and leave the propshaft connected or do I have to either disconnect the propshaft or flatbed it?

Also, Can I tow it with my 2007 XC70?

About a 50 mile drive....

Thanks!

I wouldn't.
Exceeds the tow limit weight on your car

Rear shaft must be disconnected or it has to go on trailer.
That car plus trailer exceeds tow rating of your XC a lot.
Car on dolly with brakes (I think some of the rental dollies have hydraulic surge brakes) is a bit over but with brakes you are OK for that short ride.
