When we got our first motorhome, we chose a tow dolly because we did not have a car that could be towed 4 down. We struggled with it for a year before we got our Jeep which is so much easier to hook up and tow flat. With the tow dolly we could push it partially underneath the coach, so storage was not our big problem. What was the problem was trying to get the car up on the tow dolly straight. We just were not good at that, and when we finally managed, then it took quite some time to get all the tie downs on it. It was a huge aggravation for us. A flatbed or cargo trailer would probably be easier to load the car onto, but they do add quite a bit of weight, and storage at RV parks does become a problem. The Jeep is now 11 years old, has over 120,000+ driven miles, and another 65,000+ towed miles, and is still going strong. We are on the 4th set of tires and have had 3 (I think) brake jobs, but even so, towing 4 down has definitely been the best for us.

I tow an '02 Explorer Sport Trac 2wd 5spd. While I know they made them, it's the first I ever ran across. So, I bought it. I love the truck and haven't had a moments problem, however, at 4300 lbs, it is a bit heavy.
