The disadvantage of 4 down is the limitation of vehicles that can be used. After Subaru stopped to offer manual transmission in it's US vehicles, my 4 down days were gone, and I decided to go with a dolly because that is good for any 2 WD vehicles.
Actually, no, it isn't.
It is good for almost any FRONT wheel drive vehicle, but many REAR wheel drive vehicles can not be towed four down OR on a dolly!
Yes, the rear wheels of a RWD vehicle can be put on the dolly, towing it backwards. Nearly every dolly builder says that should not be done, though. But, people do it frequently, apparently with no or minimal problems!
