I was originally considering a trailer as the vehicle I had at the time wasn't supposed to be towable (Focus Electric). After looking around I decided it was easier to go with a dolly and not bring the Focus with us (saving $$ and 800+ lbs in the process--The Focus sitting on an aluminum trailer would have been very close to max weight).
In the end: The Focus could be towed (I tried it with the dolly and it worked fine even though the owner's manual forbade it) and the lease was up; so I got the C-Max (which can be flat towed). Of course in the picture above you see neither vehicle being towed: That is my wife's Escape FWD which is perfectly happy on the dolly (and as a bonus matches the Axis' color scheme!).
