It seems that most people who are using a dolly are using it because they have to - their toad can't be towed four down; they're not using it because they want to.
And the dolly is one more thing to maintain. Tires, lights, tire straps and maybe brakes. And you have to store it someplace. Why make your life more complicated?

X2 - If all cars could be towed 4 down dolly's would cease to exist. I am actually looking for a car to tow 4 down and get rid of the car I have to dolly. Getting the car on is a pain, moving the dolly is a pain, straps are a pain. Try getting a car on the dolly in the rain or snow. I can't wait to get rid of the dreadful thing. If anyone tells you dollys are just as easy, they are kidding themselves. I watch folks unhook 4 down cars and it's MUCH easier and quicker than a dolly. But if you have no choice at least it's an option.
My sentiments exactly. When we got our first motorhome, I was in a hurry to get going so we got a dolly. After 6 months of using it, I could not wait to get rid of it. Have towed Ford Explorers and now a Honda CRV four down with no problems. I think if a tow dolly was now my only option, I would get rid of the motorhome.
