But with the dolly you have the headache of loading, unloading the toad, unhooking and finding a place to park it if you are in a back in spot, maintenance on another rolling piece of equipment, storing it at home when not in use. I think over time you will find the extra $1000.00 up front will be well worth it. Just my opinion.
I went with the ReadyBrute Elite setup with the Blue Ox baseplate on my 2013 CR-V. Bought my own parts online to save on taxes then paid a local installer to set it up. Cost was about $2800.
