Since the moderator shut down the other thread (prematurely in my opinion) I was not able to reply and give my experiences.
Besides the Ranger being on the small side, towing a vehicle with a dolly presents other problems, namely there is very little weight on the hitch. You would think this would be a good thing with a smaller Ranger pickup, but going around a turn or changing lanes can get interesting. Since there is not much weight on the rear of the truck, it will tend to slide and try to jack knife. Been there and done that, and I was using a full size pickup.
