yeah, get a flatbed hauler for sure. its only a little more for a lot better towing solution.

A dolly would probably be fine, but a flat deck trailer would be better. If you go with a flat deck though, see if you can chain it down on the chassis, instead of soft ties on the tires. Depending on if it's a fairly new car or not, since Toyota has been trying to shift away from frame ties. But having the suspension squashed down with the frame ties would make for a much smoother ride, instead of having it bounce around on the trailer.
