U-Haul dollies are made by Demco. Every one I've seen and towed has had brakes. However Demco does list a rental dolly that doesn't have brakes and is extra wide.

I think it will depend on the dolly and the toad, whether or not the ramps
will hit the toad, obviously some do.
Most dollys have the ramps built onto dolly, ACME eze-tow has stowed ramps,
not sure if any other brands do.
Maybe most dolly manufacturers think the customer is stupid enough to lose
the ramps...

Actually mfgrs think it is convenient to put the ramps there, I disagree...

Look for an inexpensive creeper. We stop at a location away from the campsite to load our car. Look for a flat, paved, shaded place, a creeper makes it much easier. Wet or inclement conditions send us to an underpass where we can safely load under cover.

What does your owners manual say about towing? I doubt that you can tow an "all time 4 wheel drive". You'll eventually need to look in the manual to see what the setup procedure is anyway.

As far as which dolly...read the posts here and you'll get pro's and con's of each.

Edit: Remco says tow-able on a trailer only. Sorry.

Hey thanks I'll look at owners manual.

I use a 2012 Master Tow 80THDEB (Electric Brakes). I added a Tekonsha breakaway system 50-85-313 from Etrailer.com for @ $50. In Georgia, there is no Title but you do have to register a Tow Dolly. The tow dolly has LED lights on it, but I also use a set of magnetic lights on the car. When I added the RV type 7 pin connector at the rear of the RV for the brake controller, I bought a dual connector that also had a 4 pin connector for the magnetic lights to plug in. So far, it all seems to work fine and having it on the dolly will help protect the car from rock chips.
