You will need to lock the steering wheel of our 2019 Lexus RX 350 when you are dolly towing it on the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame - 4,800 lbs - Wide Tread # DM9713093 you were looking at.

If your steering wheel does not have a built in lock you can wrap the seat belt around the steering wheel a few times, click the seat belt into the buckle, and then pull the seat belt out all the way so as it retracts it locks and does not allow the steering wheel to move.
