2005 Toyota Avalon Limited as Toad

I have a 2005 36' Pace Arrow that I currently tow a 2000 Jeep Wrangler four down with a Blue Ox tow bar. I am considering changing my towed vehicle to my 2005 Toyota Avalon Limited. From what I can find, 2007 and older Avalons can be towed four down with the addition of a transmission lube pump. The other option is a dolly. Looking for any input to assist in the decision making process.

Remco Towing says their LP2 lube pump will do the job.

Thanks for the response Gary. After seeing the price on a lube pump and the estimates installation time, base plate & installation and any wiring, think I will look into a tow dolly.

4 down towing isn't cheap, but neither is a decent dolly equipped with brakes (and you really do need brakes).
