        ✨Free set of wheel straps (wheel nets) with purchase, a $49.99 value✨

Premier Car Tow Dolly™ is a two-wheeled auto-hauler that’s engineered to tow cars, trucks, and vans with gross weights up to 4,900 pounds. This dolly features a locking safety collar, 6,500-lb rated lashing winches, and 12,000-lb rated nylon tire nets^*. Hard-wearing spindles, cast hubs, and 14-inch wheels provide a solid foundation for this trailer’s steel frame, and a high-gloss powder coat helps protect it from corrosion. But what makes this tow dolly turn heads are the eye-catching aluminum tread plates fitted to its tilting wheel pan and fenders. And if that doesn’t grab your attention, Premier is available with or without brakes.   

In most states, brakes and an emergency breakaway system are required by law. Be sure to make researching your state’s towing regulations part of your purchasing process.   

Hydraulic Drum Brakes  

The Premier Car Tow Dolly + hydraulic surge brakes package includes a Demco hydraulic actuator, Dexter® uni-servo drum brakes, and an emergency breakaway cable. This self-contained system provides greater stopping power than electric brake systems. And, it doesn’t need the assistance of a separate brake controller when slowing or stopping on steep gradients.  

Premier with hydraulic brakes is only available for local pickup in Greenville, SC.^† 

Electric Drum Brakes  

The Premier Car Tow Dolly + electric brakes package features electronically engaged Dexter® drum brakes, backing plates, and an Engager™ breakaway box. This entry-level system provides peace of mind and ample stopping power. If you have or plan to install a brake controller (not included) in your tow vehicle, it will require a 5-, 6-, or 7-pin connector. This dolly is equipped with a 4-pin connector.  

Premier with electric brakes will be shipped to the nearest freight terminal location. 

Idler  

If your state doesn’t require brakes, Premier Idler™ is the trailer for you. This base-model car tow dolly without brakes boasts the same engineering and aesthetics as the other brake-equipped Premier upgrades.  

Premier without brakes will be shipped to the nearest freight terminal location.

Shipping Information   

To best maintain the integrity of the trailer, Premier with electric brakes and Premier Idler are shipped (and will arrive) disassembled. Assembly will take approximately two hours and may require two people. Kindly review the images of the disassembled dolly in the photo gallery. The order processing and handling time is typically 3–7 business days and varies by season.   

^†Currently, we do not ship Premier with hydraulic brakes. You must pick up this fully-assembled trailer from our distribution center in Greenville, SC.   

 You must check with your automobile’s manufacturer to determine whether your vehicle can be towed using a tow dolly. Things to consider:   

1. Never tow a vehicle with the rear wheels on the tow dolly.
2. Your car’s steering wheel must remain locked when towing. Some vehicles require other settings which will unlock the steering wheel. If this is the case, then you must tie the steering wheel to prevent movement.
3. Determine whether your automobile’s transmission should be placed in Park or Neutral. If the transmission must remain in Neutral for towing, then determine the required ignition setting to ensure that the transmission remains in Neutral while towing. If your vehicle’s ignition must remain in the ON position, then see number 2 above.
4. Some automobiles require you to disconnect a battery terminal to ensure the automobile remains in Neutral. Again, refer to number 2 above when this is required. You may also be able to accomplish this by removing the ignition fuse. In either scenario, you may lose your automobile’s settings, so you may want to use a memory saver or memory keeper. These plug into your automobile’s 12V power supply/cigarette lighter.
5. All-wheel drive automobiles require careful consideration.
