    Yea, I guess I shoulda mentioned that eh? I can't speak for all the vehicles he tows, but yes mine was registered. I know he uses that dolly tho for most of his towing. I'll have to ask him when I see him again, as I'm now curious. An maybe it'll help someone out on here.



    Thanks for pointing that out John. I apologize for skipping over that part on registered or not and possibly giving out the wrong info.

    Sirscrapalot - Got a ticket for speed reading..will be slowing it down.

    when i got my dolly it was too narrow so we made it bigger. ive seen a guy around town with a different type of dolly. it has chains and i think they use the chains to lift the car off the ground and drag it

    U-haul in Michigan has them check to see if they are plated... I would definitely check it out before they have the dolly towed or your truck and dolly lol

    Good point! I'm considering towing one of my old vehicles to the scrapyard with a tow strap, it doesn't have insurance, just a plate and title.

    BurlyGuys, my brother just sold his car dolly to my brother last year. I used it alot more than they had or will do. It was plated as a trailer. If I remember correctly. I can ask him later about it. Kinda late now. I have only towed one vehicle from Ohio to Ypsilanti MI that was unplated. I had no problems towing it from Cincinnati ohio to ypsilanti. Just as long as you explain that you just bought the car there should be no issue!

    Just my experience in Michigan!

    Thanks Hoss. Well I've towed four cars with it now and am learning a lot. Mainly I am learning what to pay based on the issues I've run across.
