Hello Williamson, that is an interesting question. The Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive # TVXL2 is intended to be operated with the hand crank. This is the only safe way to operate this dolly, and I cannot recommend using it the way you described. If you want to use the vehicle to move the trailer it would be safer to just tow it like normal.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
