Sizing Tow Dolly
When looking for a tow dolly, how do we determine what weight rating we need? Since only the front axle will be on the dolly, do we use the total car weight?
Forum Discussion
I read the linked discussion and
1. Agree with not loading the towed vehicle backwards. Many have gotten away with it but it's definitely against the odds.
2. Many dollies are adjustable for the "track width" of the towed vehicle BUT BUT BUT some dollies are narrow enough in overall width that the track of a vehicle like a minivan may not fit, or the width of the towed vehicle may get into the fenders of the dolly.
3. And yes, get one with brakes.
