towing front wheel drive vehicle
Can anyone tell me if you need to lock the steering wheel when towing a vehicle on a tow dolly? We have a front wheel drive Toyota Highlander and are planning on towing it behind the RV on a tow doll...

The answer has to do with the dolly you are using. If it has a pivoting platform under the front wheels, then the vehicle's steering MUST be locked for the trailer to function correctly.
Cheaper dollies may not have the pivoting platform, and these types rely on the vehicles steering to be unlocked in order to turn around corners. In most cars, you have to leave the keys in the ignition and have the ignition unlocked at all times because otherwise the wheel wheel lock at the first turn you make.
