I pull an enclosed trailer with a car and toys. All the points bushpilot made are true. I would like to be able to flat tow a toad once in awhile but don't want to spend the money for the equipment, and I don't think I have a car that can be flat towed.

One nice thing about the enclosed trailer. I set my brake controller almost to nothing since my truck brakes are quite adequate to stop it all. But I do have the comfort of knowing that the break-away brakes are there to satisfy the law, and the lawyers.

Back to the brake question. What about those units that sit on the floor of the toad and hook a rod up to the brake pedal? Those look pretty neat. I think they're radio controlled or something?
