    2017 Acadia Toad (not Limited)

    We are having the tow equipment set up on our new car today. We know we need to pop off the shifter boot to release the shifter (and that adding a grommet makes it easier). Unfortunately, I am not sure exactly what that means and don't want to mess with my new car. Most of the dealership...

    Drop hitch recommendation for toad

    The center of my motorhome receiver is 21" high and the baseplate tow bar height is 13 1/2" for a difference of 7 1/2". Am I better off going with a 6" drop hitch and have a slight upward angle on the tow bar or a 8" drop and have a very slight downward angle?

    2016 Georgetown 364ts and the Toad

    We just arrived back from a 2100 mile adventure. We have never pulled a Toad until this trip. What an amazing difference in the rig. Without the Toad it was a love hate relationship. The motorhome was all over the road even after a steering stabilizer depending on wind and trucks. With the Toad...

    364ts and the Toad

    We've never pulled a toad before. We just parked a rig outside of Amarillo and it was pretty windy drive in. And I was amazed at the stability I believe the tow bar and the Jeep added to the back. Is that a possibility? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

    Installation of Roadmaster Invisibrake in 2013 Kia Soul Toad

    Gravel guard for toad to Alaska?

    We depart Friday for Alaska. I bought a used gravel shield for my '98 Sidekick toad but now I don't think I'll bring it. The thing is made of solid plastic and is enormous. It will add wind resistance and who cares about possible chipped paint on a 19 year old 4 x 4 toad? Plus, I don't think...

    Post up your Jeep Toad

    I'll start. Not sure if there is an existing thread. I looked for one but couldn't find one. I just finished washing ours from the ride home from Canada and had the idea. This will be a good place for my friend Aquaman to show off his new Jeep

    Toads without Brake

    We are getting ready to begin pulling a toad for the first time with our 3011DS. It's a Kia Soul (stick) that's all set up but doesn't have towing brakes. I took the rig for a spin and didn't like the feel under hard braking. Does anyone pull a toad without brakes and if so, what do you pull?

    The Toads Security

    We purchased a new 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport with only a Soft Top. Do you have any ideas on security. It's a crazy question but do we consider a kill switch and then how does that affect it being towed? Your suggestions and thoughts will be appreciated. We thought a soft top was more...
