Everyone has pretty much answered about the tow dolly...If towing an automatic, put the rear wheels on the dolly and tow backward. TIE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE VENT WINDOW POST with a short piece of rope (to be safe) if you do this. The dolly has a swiveling platform for turning. And when you get loaded up, REMEMBER THAT YOU CANNOT BACK THIS COMBINATION LIKE YOU CAN A TRAILER. Make sure that whenever you pull off the road that you can keep moving forward and get out of where you pull into.
