How far are you towing it?  A tow bar will work, but a tow dolly is a
lot more predictable.

I tell you this having nearly lost my Dakota and my Ford and myself in a
little crack-the-whip incident a few weeks back. Scared the wee-wee out
of me. Using a tow bar. The Dakota caught some soft sand and that spun
the steering wheels and the ride was on.

Just my $.02 worth
