The asthma and perfume are the reason Lyft, Uber and taxis won’t work.
So one option we are now considering is to tow our Lincoln MKS on a dolly.
Can I do this?
I have a 2016 Thor windsport 27K. The weight is 18000 and if I am reading the book right, it can handle an additional 8000 lbs. The curb weight of the MKS is 4100 lbs. the MKS is a Ford Taurus.
What would you recommend for a dolly? I have looked on line at the acme tow dolly, and several that PPL and camping world carry.
Acme said there are several of their dollies being used to tow MKS today. Not to doubt them but is anyone using the Acme dolly with a MKS or Taurus? It is about 100 lbs lighter than the others so it is intriguing. Their pictures make it look like they put some thought into the design.

Max weight including toad is 23,000 lbs (GCWR). Hitch is rated at 8,000 lbs. Master Tow dollies weight 450 or 551 lbs, add 4,100 for the MKS and your tow weight would be at least 4,550 lbs. So 23,000 minus 4,550 = 18,450 lbs. The answer is you can safely tow the MKS using electric or surge brake equipped dolly. 15,000 miles on my Master Tow 80THD towing three different cars and trucks with no complaints. My Big Tex carries the Master Tow and has all parts in stock.
