Tow Dolly with surge brakes - recommendations?

I have friends who use an Acme dolly and they are very happy with it, I on the other hand have had two Master Tow dollies with surge brakes and if going back to using one I would get one with surge brakes again. By the way you can not back up when using any kind of tow dolly, surge brakes or other wise. As a matter of fact you can not back up even if you are towing four down for more that a foot or two.

Surge brakes work good. You just have to remember you can not back up with them. If you try backing up with the dolly attached the brakes will activate. Have seen some that have a pin or lever to lock out the brakes so you can back up.

I suspect you will be more satisfied with adding a brake controller and electric brakes. But frankly most people do not bother with brakes of any sort on dollies.
