I have used a dolly to tow cars with little difficulty. Here are a few
thoughts.
If the car is not runing, a come-along works nicely to pull the car onto the
dolly. I have pushed them up by hand and I would not recommend it.
If you are going a LONG distance, think about removing the drive shaft to save
wear and tear on the tranny/OD? Or maybe put the rear of the car on the dolly.
