I have an 03 chevy silverado with quadrasteer that I want to tow behind my water truck for work. What is the best method of towing (Tow bar, Dolly Etc.) for not causing damage.
I want to stay away from a full size car hauler cause I have to use the truck every day and am trying to do this with one person.

The best way would be a flatbed car trailer. Unless you wanted to have a tow-behind dealybob rigged up, like when people tow behind RVs, that'd be the only way I'd know. You could probably find a good used one for pretty cheap, and its very one-man friendly.

I can't believe im saying this, but I agree with mort. lol

I would get a flatbed. I think its silly for those people with 120k+ motorhomes and they're pulling their car behind. with all the messing around modifying the vehicle, sometimes disconnecting the driveshaft, just get a trailer. then you just have 4 trailer tires/ bearings to maintain, and you aren't adding miles to the vehicle.
And if you get a trailer, you can hitch it to your truck and use it for whatever you need...

Trailering is MUCH safer than a dolly or tow bar. It requires a little more to load and lock it down obviously. I dont know much about the quadrasteer other than it was a dumb idea and a waste of money and more * to break and have to be aligned. I don't know what your experience has been. Thinking about dollying or using a tow bar on a quadrasteer raises a lot of concerns and questions for me, although I dont know as much about the system as you do. My thoughts are just that if you cant back up a truck or truck and trailer learn or don't tow lol. I don't mean you, just the reasoning for the system in the first place. Maybe GM wouldn't be in such a pickle if they had thought more about the impact of price and the practicality and need...
