Flat Tow or Dolly Tow
Bought a 2017 Chevy Traverse and trying to decide if I will Flat tow or purchase a tow dolly as prices are almost the same. Help

Option One, Flat tow, this essentially ties you to that car
Option Two, Dolly, this allows for some versatility, but not all cars can be put on a Dolly. Also you have to deal with the Dolly.
Flat towing with an internal brake system you are up and ready to go in maybe 5 minutes, if you take your time. With a Dolly you may have to go to the storage area to retrieve it and once connected to the MH you now have to load it and secure your vehicle. Neither choice is wrong, they are both valid for different reasons. Personally we chose to Flat Tow, bought a Jeep Liberty at the end of 2007 and have not looked back. I just replaced my car with a Grand Cherokee that is also flat towable and am considering setting it up to tow.
Good luck and safe travels
