Expert Reply:

Basically, there are two options you could use. The simplest is using a Tow Dolly like RoadMaster part # RM-2000-1. You would hook it up to the Trailblazer, pull the Corolla front wheels onto the dolly, and strap down the tires. These dollies have brake systems on them to ensure the dolly and vehicle are controlled.

A more cost effective method is the use of a Tow Bar, but this method will require more installation work. You would need RoadMaster part # 1165-1. These are the brackets that will attach to the Corolla and the tow bar like RoadMaster part # RM-020. Finally you will need get a set of tail lights for the Corolla. You can hardwire into the taillights of the Corolla using kit # RM-154 or you can use an external set of lights that clip into the trunk like part # EZT20B

With either method, you will need a ball mount, like part # 2753, and a 2 inch diameter ball like part # 19247.
