I have all three (trailer, tow dolly, tow bar) and find the bar the best for me. It's a 5 minute hookup and I leave the bar on the coach with a locking pin. You can also buy bars that stay with the towd if you prefer. I find the trailer the best for backing but a pain to store when parked. Not all places have pull through lots and you can get pretty long with the trailer or any combo for that matter. It's a simple matter to unhook the car with the bar to get parked. The tow dolly is almost impossible to back although the tow bar is nearly as bad but I have backed straight line a little a few times. The bar is much easier to handle, especially if you use an aluminum bar. The dolly will add 4 or 500 lbs to your combination and a trailer normally 1500 or more.
There are many options for towing four down. A number of automatics are flat towable and pumps/kits by Remco can be bought or copied to tow others. Most all sticks and most 4x4's (part time) can be towed four down.
Just my thoughts anyway,
Hal
