Picked up our ACME tow dolly this past week. The one we owned before we bought new about 3 years ago. The one we just bought is brand new. They have changed a bunch of different features in the past few years. They do boast about always improving and it appears that they have. They did move up to a radial 12" tire. They changed the way the ramps and tow straps hook up to the dolly (old way was welded D rings. new way are actual cut out slots). The straps they use now are adjustable. They said more and more people are using larger wheels, so now you can adjust the straps to fit a lot more different sizes. The winches that the straps winch into in the front are no longer on a slide rail. You set them up specifically for your vehicle and bolt them on. The downside is if you tow multiple vehicles of different sizes). The LED tail lights are mounted a little different than before. The ramps are now secured by a large wing nut on a large bolt that the ramps slide on to. Rather than the strap like before.
They have half off shipping right now. But since I picked it up directly from them (hour away from me), they gave me a free spare tire/wheel, which I am happy about.
We still have to set it up for our car. If our impression changes, we will be sure to report it.
