Expert Reply:

Yes, you can use a tow dolly to tow your 2003 Ford Ranger with a manual transmission and the driveshaft doesn't need to be disconnected. For a tow dolly that will allow you to tow your Ranger I highly recommend an option from Demco:

- Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045

- Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093

These are by far the best option because because of how simple they are to use than other tow dollies. The Kar Kaddy X tilts down and the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car on it. The SS ramps also fold up and it has a stow-away tongue which makes it the easiest dolly to store.

Both dollies also have a simple surge coupler to activate their hydraulic disc brakes so there is no messy wiring to worry about like with dollies that use electric brakes. I have added links below to video reviews of both dollies for you to check out.
