I've pulled my Vibe on a Demco KarKaddy dolly for 11 years and 54,000 mile in all kinds of terrain (see map below) with no problems and the surge brakes work just fime.
KarKaddy is Demco’s best model. It allows you to fold the ramps up and the tongue back to reduce home storage space by almost 50%. It’s fully galvanized so you never have to worry about rust and the dolly wheels are rack & pinion swiveling rather than toad wheel plate swiveling.
I’ll have to agree with “blknomad” above about the nay sayers but will admit as I get older (76) it’s getting a little harder to get down & up from my knees to hook up the toad to dolly safety chains. It may take 3 to 5 minutes longer to hook up but that’s no big deal and if you strap it down correctly you’ll NEVER have a problem with loose straps.
By the way you're not supposed to back up 4 down or with a dolly (with or without brakes) but I've backed up a few feet with my KarKaddy with not surge brake problems (you just have to take it easy).
