Tow Dolly vs. Car Hauler Trailer:
How to Choose Based on the Vehicle
Front-wheel-drive vehicles are the correct candidates for a tow dolly rental. Compact sedans, front-drive minivans, and many crossover SUVs with front-wheel-drive qualify. The driven front wheels are lifted in the air and the non-driven rear wheels roll freely without transmitting torque through any part of the drivetrain.
Rear-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, and four-wheel-drive vehicles all require a full car hauler that lifts all four wheels. This covers most trucks, performance cars, many SUVs, and any vehicle where the rear or all four wheels power the vehicle. Using a tow dolly on one of these vehicles causes drivetrain damage. Big Rentals rents both options in Corpus Christi, and the vehicle's drivetrain is the starting point for confirming the right rental.
