Towing a rear-wheel drive vehicle
I have a car dolly, but I also have a rear-wheel drive vehicle. The two options that I can think of are to remove the driveshaft or tow it backwards. I'm leaning towards towing it backwards to save ...

OP, I've towed backwards for over 70K miles. There is no need to worry about the direction of rotation of the tires. I have not had any abnormal tire wear or tire failures. I do use the seat belt to lock the steering wheel mainly because the detent is not perfectly straight and I leave the ignition switch partially on so I can leave the shifter in neutral. I agree with taking it slow to begin with and trying some back and forth to see how it behaves at around 45 MPH.
What do you mean you will not have enough weight on the dolly. Your 4000 lb Infinity probably has 1800 lbs on the rear and the post about not enough weight was BS. What about a 3200 lb car pulled normaly with a front weight of 1800 lbs... he would use the brakes in that case. Do you really think the dolly knows the difference? :S
