Car Tow Dollies
Car Tow Dollies for RV and Vehicle Towing
Car tow dollies are used to transport a vehicle behind an RV or truck while avoiding added mileage and unnecessary drivetrain wear. They are commonly chosen when flat towing is not recommended or when a single towing setup needs to work with multiple vehicles.
All tow dollies shown on this page perform the same core function: the front wheels of the vehicle are supported on the dolly while the rear wheels remain on the road during travel. This approach allows for controlled towing without permanently modifying the vehicle being transported.
Differences between tow dolly models are based on how they store and how they fit into different towing setups. Common configurations include standard swivel-pan designs for conventional towing, stand-up designs intended for vertical storage, and folding designs that reduce overall storage length.
The primary differences between tow dolly styles come down to storage footprint and towing preference, while vehicle compatibility and core function remain consistent across models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a car tow dolly?
A car tow dolly lifts the front or rear axle of your vehicle while the other axle remains on the road. It prevents odometer miles and unnecessary drivetrain wear, making it a smart alternative to flat towing or hauling a full trailer.
Which vehicles will fit on this dolly?
Our car tow dollies fit most standard passenger cars, SUVs, trucks and vans with a tire‑to‑tire width between 43.75 in and 79.5 in. Always measure your vehicle’s width and curb weight to ensure compatibility.
Can this tow dolly handle my vehicle’s weight?
Yes. The heavy‑duty frame on our Premier car dolly supports up to 4,900 lb curb weight. This covers most sedans, crossovers and light trucks. Always verify your vehicle’s curb weight before towing.
Do I need brakes on my dolly?
Optional surge or electric brakes improve control on steep grades and may be required by state law. Check your local regulations and choose the brake option that best fits your route.
Can I reverse with a car on the dolly?
No. Reversing with the vehicle loaded can damage the dolly and the towed vehicle. Always unload first.
Do I need to assemble the dolly?
No. We assemble our dollies at our Santa Fe Springs, CA facility and offer fully assembled flatbed delivery, so your dolly arrives fully assembled.
How do I store the dolly?
Fixed dollies require a full footprint. Folding units reduce in length, and stand‑up models store vertically. Choose the style that matches your available space and storage needs.
