toad

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...

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...

I have a 2011 Berk 390QS, 340 Cummings, 2500 Allision and I am looking for the Gross Combination Weight Ratio (GCWR) which would be the maximum weight for the coach and TOAD combination. It is not on any of the coach stickers. Sent an email to Randy at FR and he told me that my front axle is...

Is anyone out there toading a Cadillac SRX AWD? I was looking at the Blue Ox site and it talks about trimming the bumper and having to remove 3 fuses when towing. Is this a difficult vehicle to outfit and tow? Sent from my iPhone 'cause I'm probably out in the RV!

My back of the envelope math on using a TOAD assuming I have a towable car: 4000 miles per year, extra gallon of gas for towing every 100 miles 40*$2.50= $100 4000 miles per year, car wear and tear for towing $0.10 per mile 4000*0.10 = $400 Assume 7 year life of Tow Dolly and Brake Buddy...

It looks like Elio Motors is just about ready to go into production. Their trike car is on the top of my list as a toad for long-stay trips. At 1200 lbs dry weight, it can be flat towed by a Class B, B+ and beyond. At at starting price of $6800 it's a deal, even without an RV. Up to 84 MPG isn't...

Looking for some advice on pulling my F150 behind my 2016 Georgetown 364ts with the Ford V-10. Is this too much truck for the V10 engine with the 6 speed transmission?

Ok...pick up motorhome next week and trading my big bad F250 diesel in, which means I need a vehicle to drive to work. Since im buying that, I figure I might as well get something that can be a toad for our new 364TS at the same time. Im going the cheap route, but need to haul 6 people and...
