Found 2015 Colorado Owner's Manual. Page 10-78 "Dinghy Towing" says 2WD are not towable four down. But Page 10-81 says OK to tow Rear-UP if you immobilize the steering wheel with a clamp designed for towing. For Tow Truck use, I presume. They tell you to put the key in lock/off, but they want you to secure the wheel with that external device.
I'm surprised, but that's what Chevy says! Now see if a DOLLY manufacturer will buy into that plan. Part of the issue is probably weight distribution: Most FWD *AND* RWD *OR* 4x4 vehicles are front heavy. Towing backwards puts more weight behind the dolly than on the dolly. Maybe they don't like that.
