Towed with a dolly for 6 years. Bought 3 different vehicles during that time. No expense needed to change vehicles. Changed because DW and I were finding it harder to move the dolly around. If I was still in the same physical shape as I was when I bought dolly it would still be used. Hooking up the car to dolly was not harder than towbar is. You get what you pay for in a dolly. The more expensive ones are easier to hook up the car. A dolly does added up to 600lbs to the towed weight.
You wrote in here "hooking up the car to dolly was not harder than towbar is." Was that a typo? I've never hooked up a tow dolly, but I've done the research and it sure looks harder. If I was going for a speed record, I'm sure I could install my tow bar on the toad and have it hooked to the motorhome in about a minute and a half. If the tow bar is already on the toad (as it always is when were out on the road) it's simply a matter of pulling the toad into position, attaching the tow bar to the motorhome, plugging in the lights, and clipping on the safety cables. Not even a minute's worth of work. It does add about 20 seconds to put the transfer case into neutral, but most of that time is getting in and out of the toad.
