    We currently tow a Yaris 4 down, but that looks like a very nice tow dolly. I like how the hitch folds back like that. Looks great for storage.
  • I have no experience with a tow dolly but.......
    While walking thru a gravel parking lot at the Four Corners Tourist trap there was a small Class C towing a small car with the tow dolly. It wasn't the steerable type. He was making a U-turn and the back end of the car was actually sliding sideways as he made the turn. Now common sense tells me that that is one he__ (lets say heck) of a strain on the front end of a car.
    So, I know that a steerable tow dolly just makes perfect sense when compared to the non-steerable type.

  • Could you use a transmission pump on this van and tow four wheels down?
  • We have used a dolly for many years, we've had 3 different ones. Steerable is better on tires, than the "swivel tray" type. Also one with surge brakes will make your life easier. We now have a KarKaddy SS, very pleased with it. Each manufacturer has a range as to how high the ball should be.
