A tow dolly for a vehicle

 

Whether you’re traveling across state lines to see a sporting event or embarking on a journey to see new sights across the country, convenience matters on a long trip. You might want to use your car once you reach your destination in your RV or motorhome — smaller vehicles are better for short trips and fuel efficiency. With a tow dolly, you can safely bring it along for the ride without an extra driver. The key is finding a model that’s compatible with your needs and preferences.

How to Choose a Tow Dolly

Looking for the best car tow dolly for your needs? Tow dollies come in many different makes and models, all with their own unique features. To decide between dollies, keep the following factors in mind:

  • Size and weight: Tow dollies are designed to be transported easily, so make sure yours is lightweight and appropriately sized. A convenient tow dolly makes loading and unloading quick and easy.
  • Ease of turns: Tow dollies either have mounted front wheels that turn on kingpins or center pivot wheels that are better for corners. Although the styles are different, both are safe and effective. The ideal choice depends on your preference.
  • Storage capacity: When buying something as large as a tow dolly, make sure you have enough space to store it in your garage or elsewhere.
  • Safety features: Many tow dollies include special brakes, lights or straps to keep your vehicle attached and balanced.
  • Price: Price is important to consider when buying a tow dolly. At All Pro Trailer Superstore, we offer trailer financing to help you travel on a budget.

What Vehicles Can Be Dolly Towed?

Car tow dollies are designed primarily for front-wheel drive cars. Although they are compatible with most models, it is still wise to check your car’s owner’s manual for further information. A few common types of cars that can be towed include:

  • Toyota Prius
  • Honda Civic
  • Toyota Camry
  • Mini Cooper
  • Chevy Aveo
  • Other midsize sedans
  • Compact cars
