It all has to do with the axle. The Demco Kar Kaddy SS item # DM9713045 has a steerable axle and the Demco Kar Kaddy X item # DM9713093 has a swivel platform. Both help with tracking behind your motorhome, however the steerable axle will be far superior.
The swivel platform on item # DM9713093 allows for some movement but your rear tires and the tow dolly tires are still in a fixed position. The tires actually rotate on the item # DM9713045 tow dolly with the steerable axle, meaning you're going to have a much better towing experience with greater control. It will also allow for tight cornering when you need it. This combined with the folding design make the SS the best choice.
With your 2020 Toyota Highlander having 76" tires you can go with either option.
