    Wanted: Dinghy/Toad in Florida

    We just ordered a new Forester MBS 2401S and are looking for a small hatchback car to tow. Ideally something 2009 or newer which is set up for towing. Best fit is a lightweight vehicle like a Mini Cooper, Kia Soul or Honda Fit, but we are open to others. Please pm me Thanks, Joel

    Georgetown with TOAD pictures

    I saw a post with pictures of other campers towing their rigs and thought it might be neat and helpful to get a thread with pictures of our Georgetown's pulling TOADS. It might be helpful to list your components and how they are working for you. Our setup is a 2012 as in our signature. Our TOAD...

    We're looking at purchasing a new(ish) Silverado 1500 to tow four down with our Sunseeker 3170DS. Just talked to my RV guy, whom I trust very much and he mentioned the new 1500's are needing to disconnect the negative on the battery before towing and have been giving them some issues...

    Toad suggestion please

    Well I sold a tractor today and am now looking to spend my money! I have a 2010 freelancer that I believe has a 5000# towing capacity. My current vehicles won't work so I'm looking for a dedicated toad. I've always liked a Jeep Wrangler but what you get for the money is outrageous. I've also...

    Driving without a toad is great

    No irritating loud down shifts! Just returned to Florida from Main. First long road trip without a toad and what a difference. Cruised up steep hills like they were not there. Acceleration was great and stopping much easier. Had to guard against speeding. Obviously the V10 is programed to...

    Alignment issues with Toad?

    Has anyone had issues with the alignment in their toad (2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited)? I noticed this morning that my alignment is off and I'm going to have it corrected today. Didn't know if this was just coincidence or if this happens frequently.

    toad tire pressure

    What do you all think this could be? The tire temp on my toad has 1 tire that is consistently hotter than the rest. When cold the Temps and pressures are all uniform but right now on the road the Rears are even at 95 deg and 40psi, but the front driver is 100@40 and the passenger is 113@40...

    Made first successful tow of my TOAD

    Ok, I didn't tow it with my RV but my pickup. :D I wanted to get the hookup process down and tow locally before hitching this thing to my RV and taking off on a trip. Will do one more test run this next weekend and I should be set. So far, I like the dolly but it is a little bit of a hassle...

    Best toad brake unit?

    I have an older Roadmaster unit that has gone bad. There are a dozen or so units out there. I like portability so I can change from car to truck. Thanks All

    Jeep toad

    I picked up a 2005 Jeep Wrangler and seeing a lot of options for towing hardware. Besides all the expensive "RV" options out there, can one use a simple "Smith Built" tow bar that pivots up and stays on the jeep? Also does anyone have recommendations for light wiring setup?

    Tire pressure on toad car

    I noticed my pressure and temperature on the right front tire ran higher than the other tires. I would check it and realized the exhaust pipe from my DP was causing the problem. I turned exhaust tip outward to attempt to lesson the heat it was generating. Didn't fix it totally, but helped. I...

    Aux brakes for toad.

    Using a suburban for a toad

    I have a 2015 3050s sunseeker with a 7500 lb hitch. I am looking for a toad and am wondering if using my 2012 suburban would be unreasonable. If I buy another vehicle I will need to spend more on insurance, etc. I know a lot of people like jeeps, but I already own a low mileage suburban. Any...
