We are on the verge of driving 6 hrs to purchase our new to us first and hopefully last Foretravel U280 40' and now realize that flat footed towing our Jetta is not an option. :-( Never had much luck backing a loaded tow dolly and wanted to see if a reverse friendly tow dolly existed? Anyone out there aware of such an animal? Any input would be much appreciated!!!! Thanks, Tom
We have a HDXL with a switch for backing, it helps BUT still not like a fixed wheel trailer.
We opted to installing a receiver class 2 on our towed works much better.
Nope.
Shouldn't back up 4 down either. Great way to tweak the arms on your tow bar.
I just sold my 07 Tahoe and picked up a nice 10 month old tow dolly with surge brake, LED tail lights (Master Tow) garage kept for $1K cash. It will tow my FWD 2010 MKZ just fine, surge brakes are no drama, no tail light mods, no baseplate....
I towed with a dolly for 4 years no problems, mainly my 2004 Jetta TDI Avant.
Thanks! Guess we'll try to rent one in Illinois when we get there..
U haul has one way car trailers and Dolly's .
Craigslist - Master Tow with surge brakes. New about $17-1800.00
When you strap down, drive half a mile or so with a few turns then re-tighten. Then drive 30-50 miles and re-tighten. If straps are new check at 20-25 miles two or three times for more peace of mind. New straps are like rubber bands.
