i would really lean toward a tow dolly. the free wheeling hubs will only work with certain body styles. with a tow dolly, back the car on the unit, lock the steering wheel straight and go. when home the dolly can be stood straight up and save space. i towed all around the mid west with a tow bar, and would never ever do that again. tow bars are dangerous when raining [don't ask how i know] are hard to back up and have to be designed just right or they will not track.
with the free wheelin' hubs you still have to have the front wheels on the ground, you still have to have a tow ball and light wires. plus all the time to change tires commin' and goin'.
all in all the tow dolly is best hands down.
