Lots of manufacturers for these items. What concerns to look for when buying preowned tow bars and braking equipment? Which ones to stay away from? Will be towing Ford Ranger truck.
If the seller doesn't have the original receipt/s or the rating isn't stamped on, I'd pass on it. I always buy this kind of stuff from a dealer and stick the receipt/s in the dash with the registration.Lots of manufacturers for these items.

I have an 18' car hauler but, I like those car dolly's too. Just check and inspect your straps every time you get out of your tow vehicle, which is about every 4hrs for me. Oh, don't go over the speed limit with it or you might be talking to Smokey the Bear! Just ask my wife... LOL!Appreciate your answers. Now thinking a car dolly might be more beneficial as other vehicles could be used instead of one. Any thoughts about that?
It's all about convenience, ease of use, purpose of towing, etc. If you are going south (or what ever) for the season, a dolly might be the best choice. If you traveling, stopping and using the towed car freaquently, a dolly will be less convenient than a flat tow setup. Flat towiing setups are generally more expensive.Appreciate your answers.
