Abstract
A tow dolly arranged for towing a vehicle behind another vehicle. The tow dolly has ramps for receiving wheels of the towed vehicle with the ramps being adjustably mounted such that vehicles of different wheel spacing between the front and/or rear wheels may be accommodated. The wheel assemblies are also adjustably mountable to accommodate either a narrow width vehicle or a wide width vehicle. Multiple bores are provided in the main frame to accommodate the two mounting positions of the wheel ramps to accommodate the mounting of the axle assemblies in the two positions.
