Flat towing; vehicle tire, bearing wear, and driveline wear with initial cost of approximately $2600.00
Dolly; 1/2 the vehicle tire and bearing wear with an initial cost of $800-$2200
Top of the line aluminum 6.5 x 14, 7000# trailer (1000# trailer weight); no vehicle wear, a tool that can be used for numerous jobs around the house with an initial cost of $5200. Loading and unloading time of about 5 minutes.
It is your decision but I will pull a trailer and I never had a problem at a CG. One time in northern MS we had to leave it in the big main parking lot because the CG was set up for crappie fisherman, the sites were small and everyone left their boats and trailers in this lot.
