This chart is on "Master Tow's" website. I use the model 80THD and it clears vehicles up to 78" wide at the doors. I think you have the narrow model and need to do your homework. The capacity of the dolly is Ok. It is the width you need to look at. Also be advised that if you fail to secure the steering wheel from turning, it will allow the dolly tray to pivot into the body because of the front wheels turning. It will also loosen the tie down straps if the steering wheel is not locked.

thanks i did look at the van and the steering doesnt lock. i did not know this my Kia van locks the wheels when the key is removed... i do know how to strap the wheel to keep it from turning,(used to drive a tow truck) thanks again
