This is 2nd Gen vehicle and just wondering which would be best way to tow car.
Umable to tow 4down. Wondering wich would be best dolly or trailer.
Tow unt E-450 class C.

I would say, if you think you might have need for a trailer for other things, get one.
If you know you will never need a trailer, get a dolly.
When I had a trailer, I used it for hauling hay, long lumber, rocks, etc. We don't have horses now, and I'm not much for big projects at my age, so no trailer any more.
For a dolly, I would recommend the American Tow Dolly or the Demco Kar Kaddy. The Demco is the best, IMO, but it costs more than three times what the American does, new.

Probably a good answer but not the one the OP was looking for!;)

Get a Jeep.

I'd especially like to hear from anyone towing a 2nd generation Kia Soul automatic- how you're doing it & how's it going. We'd like to trailer it, but not sure any tie down point is usable except passing strap through the tire/rim on all four wheels. Has anyone used the screw-in bumper bolts & how'd that work? Are bumpers bad looking afterwards? Thanks for any info!

Remco Towing suggests a dolly for the front wheel Soul with 6 speed auto.
If you go with dolly, I would suggest a trailer hitch on the Soul so you can move it around when necessary.

A Kia Soul is front wheel drive. A dolly is lighter and less expensive and takes up less room in a campsite, but can't be backed up very well with a car loaded. A trailer can be backed up but is much heavier. It's also hard to move one around a campsite. I'm not a fan of tow dollies but in your shoes I'd probably use one.

[Bumpyroad]

is it front wheel drive?
