Other details:
Towing “four down” you’d use a bumper hitch, and leave the key in so you can unlock the steering.

You could use a dolly, but you’d have to tow it backwards, lash the steering straight (key in, steering unlocked, wheel tied in position), and have your 4WD selector in Neutral to unlock the front hubs.

From what I read, that’s the “official, factory-recommend” method.

My Favorite Son transports his VW to car shows with a tow bar, but he’s flying out, so I don’t think he can bring it! I started out with a 15’ truck and a car hauler and now I’m down to 10’ with a tow dolly. I need to lose a lot of stuff because I just can’t afford the bigger combination.

I want as little fuss as possible from here to there, needless to say.

But you can’t imagine how grateful I am for your help!
