This is WRONG! All cars and trucks can be towed 4 up on a trailer, but not all can be towed on a dolly.
Some will require a disconnect of the driveline in some manner if rear wheel drive.
This is true but is a lot of trouble to use a dolly. If I were going to go to that much trouble, it would be for 4 down. It also doesn't address the front wheel drive cars that can't be dolly towed.
Most standard transmissions can be towed 4 down,
This is WRONG! The word "most" is incorrect. "Some" is a much better word here. It varies greatly. Check each car you are considering to see if it can be towed 4 down.
some autos (by "autos" I think he means automatic transmissions) can be towed 4 down.
This is true.
Look in the manual under towing for advice on which method is recommended for the vehicle.
This is wonderful advice.
