Yes, your 2013 Fiat 500 with a manual transmission is towable with a tow dolly. Since you know you'll own other vehicles in the future a dolly option is the better route as you can more easily transfer it to future vehicles. Plus install is easier and cost is about same or less as flat towing.
The Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1 would be a really great option. All you need to add brakes to it is a 7-way like with the kit # HS381-9000. I like this dolly as it's not crazy expensive like others but has the needed features like brakes, steering axle, and easy loading as well. I attached a review video for more info as well.
Your tow vehicle will need a brake controller installed in it as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy as it is incredibly reliable, works, well and is easy to use. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
