I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica, and it says flat towing with all four wheels on the ground is not allowed, but so long as it is a front-wheel drive, you can tow it behind your motorhome using a tow dolly. So with that in mind you have a couple of options, which are the Demco tow dollies:

- Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045

The Kar Kaddy SS is a really nice, high-quality dolly that is much simpler to use than other tow dollies in large part due to its hydraulic braking system. This means there is no messy wiring to worry about like with dollies that use electric brakes, and no electrical issues that you may have to deal with. Hydraulic brakes are also going to be more responsive and give you the best overall stopping power on a tow dolly.

This dolly is also much more convenient to store than others because its ramp folds up and it has a stow-away tongue which means it is going to take up much less space than any other dolly.

I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045.

My 2018 Chrysler weighs 5200 pounds with 3000 of that being over the front wheels. Also, the outside to outside front wheel measures 78.5”. This is outside the specs for the Demco you recommend. Will the Demco you recommended work for this application, or do you have any recommendations that will?

@JamesC We do not have a tow dolly that is going to have the capacities for that vehicle. Our max weight tow dolly is 4800lbs with a max wheel distance of 78". You would either need to find a dolly that is rated higher for your vehicle, or a trailer to tow that vehicle with.
