    In order of preference and ease I use a chain with pipe, tow bar, and finally gooseneck with winch. If I was hauling vehicles full time it would be a goose neck flat bed with a winch.

    Give back more to this world than we take.

    Double axle Trailer with winch and 3/4 or better 4x4 truck. Mine is a 454 which isn't necessary, but lets me run at highway speeds and merge without being killed. Problem with a dolly is you can't back up with a car on it, and you are relying on the cars tires and axle which can and do fail. Also, cars come loose on dollys and get squirrelly at higher speeds. All it takes is a wet yard to stop a 2 wheel drive truck and trailer in its tracks, making everyone angry. I would love a wrecker though.
