toad

Well I finally had a chance to hook up the toad to the RV after getting it back (temporarily) from the dealer. I had spent the last 3 weeks putting on the base plate and completing the wiring and lights but unfortunately could not hook it up to the RV to test until just now. Not unexpectedly...

Has anyone ever set up their Chevrolet Suburban to tow all 4 down? Looking for info on how difficult or easy it was. Ours is a 2014 Suburban LTZ. Thanks

We are about to go on our first trip with a car in tow behind the trusty Solera. It was easy saying I had a 25ft RV before. When seeking reservations should I be looking at longer sites or possibly always look for pull throughs? I am unsure how the toad figures into things.

Just bought a new Toad yesterday. Getting it prepped to be pulled behind my coach. I currently have a Brake Buddy, but I really want to upgrade to something that is always installed in the Toad. I just want to hookup an go... So, in your all's experience, what is the best "hidden" brake...

Our Jeep looked tiny behind the Force, I finished the upgrades yesterday. It is my wife's daily driver and she loves it. First test run behind the RV tomorrow. Hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day weekend. 2016 Dynamax Force. Just-Rite2

Ok need some advice on a toad. I have a F150 platinum I was planning on setting up with blue OD and brake buddy and going to pull. My buddy just bought a wrangler and said I'm crazy pulling a pickup. Not sure I need or want another vehicle but I'm planning a 5000 mile trip this summer from ND to...

My wife and I are looking at what we want to get for a toad, and we're planning on towing four down. On one hand, we have reality, where we'll be getting some older, cheap compact sedan as our first toad (probably an '03 or so manual Dodge Neon - will make a good first car my son can buy off me...

I posted this in the towing section too. So we are new to toading. We are towing a Honda Acoord behind our Georgetown MH. No drop hitch, just with the factory hitch. Hooking up is easy, however, twice now we have to be absolutely level side to side otherwise we can't unhook the toad. Had to...

I posted this in the towing section but thought I might get a better response here ? on the Roadmaster Tow Defender I am considering purchasing the Roadmaster Tow Defender for my Class C. Does anybody have experience with this or similar Blue Ox version. We took a 1000 mile trip so far and...

Can a 2013 Grand Vitara be flat towed? Doug Lay

I'm thinking of upgrading my Toad from an '05 Yukon XL, to a '14 GMC Savana Conversion Van (RWD). GMC states that this van cannot be flat towed. I don't want to mess with a dolly or trailer. I understand that a Drive Shaft Coupling will disconnect the rear (drive) wheels from the...

Ok...new truck gets delivered here in a couple days...they are really pricing the 16s to move! I traded in my 2014 XLT to a 2016 XLT with the new body style and a few more gadgets...got the 2.7 eco as well. This new truck is a lot lighter so i can tow it, and is ready from the manufacturer to...

We are driving our 2011 Sunseeker 3170DS from Texas to Alaska this summer. Wasn't planning on bringing a toad, but am starting to think it may be a good idea if I can do it fairly painlessly. I've got a 1997 ford explorer 2wd manual transmission that I drove for years and now is used to store...

After looking at the options and hearing from many how bad it stinks having to use a dolly, I decided against going with the affordable but primitive Acme Tow Dolly. Yes it is very affordable, but too many of the parts need to be moved around, extra tools needed, and lots of hard 90degree metal...

Maiden trip with my new toad set up this weekend. I pulled a pop up for many years but never anything behind a MH. The MH is a 2015 FR3 30DS, the toad is a 2016 Chevy Sonic LT automatic. Blue Ox baseplate, towbar, BrakeBuddy Vantage Select. I've gone through the set up at the dealer and on...

Was on 85 in NC today and a class A passed me at a high rate of speed. Something did not look right . I got about 20 miles down the road and saw there Toad smashed up backwards into the guard rail. No sign of the Class A. There was now enough time between us so he must have lost it and not...

I don't see anyone else on here from my hometown, and with our 'Festival' in 3 weeks, the connection between Frogs, Toads, and Camping sort of popped into my head. In three weeks, the humongous, ginormous, annual Toad Suck Daze will be held here in Conway, AR. Been going on since 1982. I...

I just wanted to ask people what kind of toads are popular. I understand my weight restrictions and have looked at tow guides to see what needs to be done to certain vehicles to be towed safely. I am looking for something to tow behind my Georgetown 364TS. I would prefer a SUV. Any advice...

Does anybody know if I can tow a 93 Buick automatic 4 down?

Just acquired a 2006 Ford Escape as a toad. It already had Blue Ox base plate installed. It is a 5 spd manual with 4 cyl engine. The Escape has a 4 pin light connection. The owners manual says it is 4-down towable as is with 70 MPH limit. The manual does not say anything about key position...

I do have a tow vehicle now. I think sooner or later(probably sooner), I have to get another one. Wondering how much I can expect to spend to get the car tow capable. Pls post your experience of having it done and approx cost if you like to share with forum. Definitely going to flat tow...

Hello Everyone, I want to take a few minutes to explain what happened to me over the past few weeks which lead up to a total bust today. ' My wife and I recently went full time in our 40 foot diesel pusher. We were initially towing a chevy 4x4 flat towing with a blue ox base plate and...

Getting ready to fix our Honda CRV for towing behind the Legacy. Going with Blue Ox baseplate and tow bar and Air Force One brake system. What mud flap are folks putting across the back of the coach? Any other items I should look at? Thanks! 2015 Forest River Legacy RB. Soon to be 2013...

We are currently towing a 2016 GMC Acadia behind our Georgetown 351DS. This is a new vehicle, replacing a 2009 Saturn Outlook that was involved in an accident. The Outlook and Acadia are basically the same vehicle. We went with the Blue Ox components, and both vehicles require pulling a...

This question is for the Wrangler owners who flat tow, I currently have a Roadmaster Falcon2 towbar, Roadmaster baseplate, and a Brake Buddy. The last item i believe I need is some kind of wiring and diode system for the brake/ running lights. What wiring kits have you used that are easy for...
