Helpful Expert Reply:
If you're struggling to get the straps loose from the 3477 Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 since your 2009 Chevy Impala sits too low, you'll need to move the release down and hold it there manually while you pull down. This will loosen up the strap and then might give you enough slack to then open up the handle fully to make removing the strap easier.
Unfortunately there aren't any smaller handles that you can swap out with this to make it easier to operate in those regards.
