I've hauled my Midget on both a U-haul 2-wheel dolly and the full trailer.
It was a close fit with the trailer, but it worked without incident.
The 2-wheel dolly was the bigger headache. I had to buy a new ball mount
with mucho lift, because the ramps from the dolly made contact with the
underside of the car when loaded. The greater lift gave me a smidge more
clearance between the ramps and the car.
Hope that helps.
