I own one of these, I tow a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country minivan behind our Diesel class A Motorhome. For the most part I like it, I wish I owned something I could flat tow like a Jeep Gladiator etc. but for now, I am stuck dolly towing which I do hate BTW :-) As described in this video this dolly is well built and having surge disc brakes is a very good option... All tow dollies compared to flat towing suck badly, I did make one modification to my ACME Dolly that I feel is an oversight on the company's part, that is when vehicle is loaded the front tires are perched onto a 2"x2" square tube beam which you can see clearly in the video, I went on Amazon and purchased a 48" x 12" x 1/4" thick aluminum diamond plate and cut to size and self-tap screwed it in place. Now my front wheels are on a nice flat surface and not sitting on a 2" square tube beam. What problems have I had with this dolly using it 5 times and about 7k miles? Had to replace 3 tires, I keep two spares because of this and if you own one of these dollies you need to carry at least one spare! The 12" 10ply E rated tires are the best you can get in a 12" trailer tire. I am afraid to tow this thing at night for fear of a flat. the problem is the dolly tires run in the part of the road where all the road debris is, tread ground off one, tread separated on another, and large bubble on inside side wall on another and was not from an impact. This dolly should have 13" tires where you can have a much better choice of tire and also be a much more substantial tire. I spend a lot of time while towing looking at my dolly tires in my rear-view mirror. I do plan on getting a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) in short, the 12" tires suck! and I've tried a few different brands. When I purchased this dolly, the manufacture had a special deal that included a spare tire and a spare set of wheel straps, well I already referenced the tire issues and I am now throwing away both my original wheel straps as they are badly damaged, I take a lot of care when installing them and maybe all dollies eat up these wheel straps, I did read in a review that this particular dolly requires a lot of adjustments... When I put my vehicle on and take off, I drive maybe a mile or two, get out and ALWAYS have to tighten them up and I find 80% if the time I stop for fuel or a break of some kind I check and have to tighten them up again... just part of owning a dolly? BTW. Wheel straps are $207.00, I am seeing ridiculous part prices on ACME web site like $20 for a wing nut! , bearing and seal wheel kit $228, $403 for a brake caliper! If you need brake or wheel parts, go to auto parts store and buy parts for a 1997-2000 Kia Sephia, also buy tires and wheels for Amazon or other online venders, they want $219 for one tire w/rim Bottom line is if you have to use a dolly this is the best priced non-pivot model by far and is somewhat a pain in the ass, but I am thinking they all are in one way or another, the ramps do suck having to carry them around but actually install very easily. when putting back on trailer the wing nut is not enough to hold in place, I use a small ratchet strap around them as they don't stay in place.

Short and to the point, Excellent! Ive been renting Uhaul Dollys for years and I was never asked if my steering wheel locked or not! I had no idea there where pivot and none pivot models. You learn something new every day! HAH!

I had one of these for towing my 2022 Toyota Camry, due to the fact the wheels are required to move in a turn the basket straps had to be retightened every 200 miles as they would loosen in the turns. I sold it as soon as I returned from a trip to upstate NY. I might add $2022 of damage was done to my car due to the car getting turned on the dolly because the wheels would be misaligned from turns. I have replaced it with a Master Tow brand that has a pivoting platform for the wheel of the car to rest on that doesn’t require the wheels to move on top of the dolly.

You make very very good videos... constant flow of information... no repeating... no uhmmmm... uhmmmm... uhmm... nice work dude... appreciate it very much

One thing to consider is the height of the towing vehicle and the angle of the dolly. If the angle is too steep the car or dolly can bind when turning.

Seen several videos on tow dollie’s which I have but have yet to see one that they covered speed rating of the tires. Tires on mine were only rated for 55. Replaced those with tires of an 80 mph speed rating

Well you just saved me time and money,thanks. I am looking to buy cars at tow yard auctions and never know what car will be there so it looks like a full trailer will be needed

Best dolly I ever owned was a "road tow'd", the wheels pivoted, not the deck. I sure regret selling that thing.

Nice review! I purchased the EZ Haul model that's exactly like the one u reviewed but w power coated black paint, I love the thing, it's well built and tows my '06 impala w no problems so far. Do watch out though buying the right ball hitch for ur dolly, tongue height is very important for the surge brakes to work right, I had to buy a special drop down ball hitch to lower the hook up height from my motorhomes hitch receiver ;)

Good video I went to the site and they had a good video on why new dollys are mostly fixed decks now. I was from the school of thought the pivoting one is the way to go but newer cars the steering wheels do not lock anymore.

Great information here. I have done a lot of towing with a pivot deck. It has some limitations for sure. Disk brakes. Storage options. Looks like a good unit.

I appreciate the Hamlet reference.

Thanks for this video you answered alot of questions I had and gave me more information on things I had no idea about. Very helpful video

FYI - Tow dollies need to pivot. If they don't, they actually drag the trailer wheels sideways when you go around corners. Unlocking the steering wheel does not relieve the stress on that pivot point. DG

Not mentioned: OEM options increase resale value and customer base.

Really simple and great video. Love it.

This was worth every minute. Thank you

Thank you very much for the informative video; it sure makes life easier.

Suspension?

Good presentation and good info.

Great info!

That's the one I want!

Great info safe travels

Great info. Thanx

Couldn’t you just strap the steering wheel of the toad?In this way aren’t all steering wheels locking?

I love this

💯💯🔥🔥 very informative

How do you like it 4 years later?

Is it easy to load and unload your Chevy Volt on this dolly? Any clearance issues at all?

Do you use/add a steering wheel lock even though you have a fixed deck? What year is your Chevy Volt?

When that dolly is behind my motor home without a car on it can I back it up without activating the brakes?

This tow dolly did significant damage to our Chevy Volt. Any advice on avoiding this damage in the future?

How much did you pay for it?
