Tow Dolly vs. Car Hauler Trailer:
How Drivetrain Determines the Right Rental
Front-wheel-drive vehicles are the correct candidates for a tow dolly rental. The driven front wheels are in the air, and the non-driven rear wheels roll freely without transmitting torque through any part of the drivetrain. Compact sedans, front-drive minivans, and many crossover SUVs with front-wheel-drive fall into this category.
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 older American sedans that make up a significant share of Fort Worth's vehicle market. Using a tow dolly on one of these vehicles causes drivetrain damage. Big Rentals rents both options in Fort Worth, and confirming the vehicle's drivetrain is the starting point for the right rental.
