Depending on your tow vehicle, you may have a hard time with some tow dollies. Our tow dolly worked great on a Sonata that we had, but our Altima wouldn't make it up without tearing up the front end due to the lower front valance height. To correct this we had to use boards to drive the car onto the tow dolly ramps, thus giving us a less steep approach angle.
Yes, cost of four down towing is more expensive... but so is a divorce. The first time you start yelling at your wife because she's not able to position the vehicle on the tow dolly correctly while you're in the ice cold pouring rain giving her directions and hooking up tire straps, you might reconsider the money that you saved. (Don't ask me how I know. And no, it didn't turn into a divorce just a long silent ride home.) Just sayin'.
With flat towing the Jeep, you just have to get close to being where you should be and the adjustable tow-bar will allow you to hook up. Once hooked up the tow-bar self adjusts itself with a few slight turns of the MH steering wheel upon start-up and off you go.
