Tow Dolly or car hauler

Thinking of towing our car for our seasonal stay to upstate N.Y. from Texas. Will either rent one or the other. Opinions on one the other. Have towed boats and TTs before but never used a tow dolly. Will be using my Reese.

  • What kind of car? I ask because a trailer is a better option if it's not one that can be towed on its rear wheels. Other than that a dolly will work, although I don't personally like them.
    With a trailer, you can back up, and you have brakes.
    With a tow dolly you have a lot of weight back there without any brakes.
  • How much weight you can put on your hitch?
    Dolly puts minimal weight, trailer can do a lot.
