    Toad trailer wiring

    I have a 2019 Jeep Sahara Unlimited. It did not come with a rear trailer hitch, so I installed one WITHOUT wiring. Then, I installed my BlueOx base plate WITH plug and play wiring on the Jeep. Now, I'd like to install rear trailer wiring on the Jeep so I can tow a small trailer legally...

    Best model of a TOAD

    We upgraded from a TT to a Class A 36' Georgetown. My question is... what is the best-safest type of TOAD to use. I hear from other that a Jeep is best way to go. My only issue with a Jeep is, I am 6'-4" and I barely fit in a Wrangler. Talk about a tight fit. Any suggestions?
