2014 Dodge Ram 1500. Just as easy to tow as the Jeep GC I had before this and the Wrangler before that. Takes about 3 minutes to connect and put Brake master air brake on.

We tow a 2009 Jeep JK Automatic 4X4. Takes 30 seconds to pop the transfer case in Neutral ...actually takes longer to get the Brake Buddy installed and setup. Love the setup regardless. We have a custom bumper with the Blue Ox Adventurer.

We have both a dolly and two vehicles that can be towed 4 down, a Geo Tracker and a Metro.
For a trip I will chose 4 down every time.
I also have a solid towbar and one that folds. For some reason I seem to always choose the solid one for long trips, even with the associated storage problems. I think that could be that because it has fewer moving parts and would be less prone to failure, and that has been true for a lot of miles.
When (if?) given a choice, I cannot understand why anyone would choose the added preparation time, maintenance, storage, and failure possibilities associated with a dolly.
About the only thing our dolly is used for is to transport disabled vehicles, but it works very well for that.
Just my 2c.

We tow two different vehicles depending on our destination. Most of the time we tow a 2006 Jeep Commander, 4x4 auto. Put the transfer case in neutral and off we go. On occasion we tow our 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 4x4 auto. Put the transfer case in neutral and the key in the position to unlock the steering wheel. Can't get much simpler than that.

We pulled a Honda Accord for a long time. Three days ago bought a new Lincoln MKX. Drove several of the cars that can be towed but wanted something that was more comfortable with options we wanted. Getting less and less new cars that can be towed. Ordered the new base plate yesterday.
safe travels all

I'm not a fan of complicated electronics and procedures.
We tow a 2012 Subaru Impreza sedan, AWD, 5 speed manual transmission. Turn the key to unlock the steering, put it in neutral, parking brake off, and GO. Could not be simpler. Also use a ReadyBrute Elite towbar with built in surge brake. No controllers, electronics, brake boxes, etc.
Simple is better. Really.

We tow a 16 Jeep Wrangler, I can't imagine anything easier, no steering wheel lock either. Lots of good vehicles to tow, I'm sure you will decide on what meets your needs.

Looks like a great setup! We plan on towing a VW Beetle with our 2005 Aspect. We'll look at the Ready Brute next summer before hitting the road.

Posting since no one else has mentioned one.
I tow a 2004 Ford Explorer -- 4WD V8 -- with Ford neutral tow kit installed.
no dead battery issues, no relays or fuses to pull, no shimmy shake or steering issues -- just connect, set so neutral tow light is on, and go.
Use this because it has three rows of seats for adults --
and can tow my 24 ft boat when at the house with Factory Tow Package.
thx
