I would recommend putting the the vehicle up on one of uhaul's auto carriers. I recently towed 99 about 600 miles being pulled by a silverado 1500. The route was mostly flat through southern California and Arizona. But we were able to cruise along at speed with seeming little effort.

With the dolly you run into the need to drop your drive shaft.

how are you getting the odd car back to NY (ie, if you tow the montero, how are you getting the honda to NY?) There may be some MPG considerations where the honda will be cheaper to ship or drive.

But after using the auto transport, I don't think I would ever use a tow dolly. The transport was easier, stable and didn't put any wear on the car that was being towed.
