I'm going to measure the trailer I have access to and if it wont fit on the trailer I will call a tow truck it's not a huge deal. I know how to properly tow it on the trailer so that's not an issue. I just don't know anything about a tow dolly as I've never used one. Honestly, I just don't like the idea of them.

I don't think I will rent a trailer, I just was curious about them.

 

Been there, done that, and know many people who've had the same thing happen. I cannot speak enough AGAINST TOW DOLLIES.

Trailer the truck or use a recovery vehicle to have it hauled.

 

I was in traffic on time and the guy's wheels turned and jack knifed it and the boat behind him. Good thing it was stop and go. I would never used one of them after seeing that!!!! Tow truck almost flipped it was very scary.

 

Careless people cause wrecks. I can't imagine a vehicle properly anchored to a properly rated tow dolly using the wheel straps and the provided tie-down chains breaking free of the dolly. I'd expect the ball hitch to fail under any stress sufficient to overcome those four devices.

But I have to agree that it's better to move a disabled vehicle on a flatbed straight truck than to tow it on a trailer or dolly. As long as the driver isn't one of those idiots who saves time by neglecting to anchor it, anyway.

 

I would prefer to use a flat trailer or roll back wrecker. I have used the sling wrecker before and it is similar to a dolly. Tie the wheel and lock it where it won't move, remove driveshaft if useing the dolly. I can put my truck on a 8x16 trailer, but it is within a 1/4" of the sides and actually not sitting where the weight is perfect. The wide tires will pose a problem though. If you can find a flat trailer without sides and drive on fenders over the tires that would be ideal. I have a neighbor who built his with the drive on fenders to haul his truck due to wheel width and it worked excellent.
