Considering a tow dolly...... Info needed
We just bought a new motorhome and need to pull our 2013 Ford Escape, front wheel drive. Our last toad was pulled with a tow bar setup, so I'm not familiar with tow dollies. I've seen some have auto...

ALL cars/trucks can be towed on a dolly. Some will require a disconnect of the driveline in some manner if rear wheel drive. Most standard transmissions can be towed 4 down, some autos can be towed 4 down. Look in the manual under towing for advice on which method is recommended for the vehicle. We purchased a 2013 Hyundai elantra with the 6 speed trans for a towed veh. Its light (2600+- lbs) and actually pretty peppy for a 4 cyl. The Hyundai with Auto trans must be transported on a roll on or a trailer/dolly per the manual. Ours does not have any speed/time restrictions nor does it have to be started everyday to circulate fluids! There is the aspect that is the next size down like a nissan versa or any of the little econo boxes. The clutch on ours is VERY light and the throttle is light also so coming from a truck with standard I am still trying to smooth out starts from a stop.
