Towing cars behing the MDX with either a 2 or 4 wheel trailer

Does anyone have any experience with towing a car behind their vehicle for long distances (2000 to 3000 miles) with either a two wheel tow dolly http://www.uhaul.com/Reservations/Eq....aspx?model=TD , of a four wheel trailer http://www.uhaul.com/Reservations/Eq....aspx?model=AT ? (The links are just references for the types of trailers).

As our life style has become more transient, we are looking for the best way to transport my wife's Honda Fit along with us.

Thanks.

(I still totally love the MDX. it is amazing)

I would go for a two wheel tow dollie since the Fit is FWD. Never had any experience towing with the MDX but isn't it rated for like 6000 lbs?

I have been doing some research and I think we have lucked out that the Honda Fit is one of the rare cars that can be flat towed, four wheels down, so I would just need the proper towing bars.


As I understand it, the MDX is good for towing 5000 lbs.

Has anyone actually towed a car on it's four wheels behind the MDX?

I am just concerned that a lot of towing could be bad for the MDX. (6000 miles a year)

Thanks

1st gen MDX had 3500 lbs towing capacity, 2nd gen had 5000 lbs towing capacity.

I have no experience with towing in an MDX.
