How to Lower Chances of Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly Bouncing on Highway
Published 09/06/2022
Question:
I need a tow dolly, but Im afraid itll bounce when towing empty. Ive seen a few folks towing them empty down the highway, and Ive seen that they can get pretty squirrley, rocking back and forth and bouncing. Is there any way to prevent that? Maybe putting weight of some kind on the dolly? Im not looking for a white knuckle ride... Thanks for any assistance you can provide...

Expert Reply:
Adding weight to a tow dolly will help with some of that bounce for sure, but 2 other things you can do is lower the air pressure in the tires and drive slower on the highway.
For example, for the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093 Demco recommends lowering the air to 20 psi and refraining from driving over 55 mph. It won't be perfect, but doing all of this will help give you more control over your tow dolly. Just be sure to fill your tires back up to the recommended psi rating found on the sidewall prior to loading your vehicle back up.
