Recommended Tow Dolly For A 2010 Ford Ranger
Question:
Will I be able to tow my 2010 Ford Ranger 2 wheel drive manual trans with a car dolly? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The online manual for a 2010 Ford Ranger doesn't list anything about dolly towing the vehicle but does state that manual transmissions can be placed in 2WD and flat towed, so you're more than likely fine to dolly tow your Ranger, but I recommend double-checking with your local Ford dealership to ensure there isn't anything else that would prevent you from doing so.
If you haven't purchased your tow dolly yet then I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093. This tow dolly will come with everything you need to safely tow your Ranger and remain street legal. It has a 4-pole connector and LED tail lights on the fenders to clearly display your intentions. It uses a surge coupler so you won't have to install a brake controller and has disc brakes for more even braking.
I've attached a short video below where Ryan will walk you through the features and use of this tow dolly.
