We used to tow a Wrangler Unlimited 4 down and now tow our Renegade on a dolly. Set up time is just a little longer but it can be unstrapped and backed off very quickly when needed.

We did have an incident when towing 4 down where one of the bolts that held the tow adapter to the mount point on the Jeep worked loose and we only had one arm of the towbar attached while getting off of the interstate. Fortunately, there was no damage or further issue, I just had to go get a new bolt and nut and reattach the arm to finish our trip.

We learned a valuable lesson about checking all tow gear before hitting the road. The dolly has its own check points, especially the straps. They always seem to work loose after around 20-25 miles and can be tightened. Fortunately, when leaving Hampton Roads, VA, we have to stop at the tunnels for a propane check at the inspection stations... and it is a perfect opportunity to tighten up the straps.
