toad

Hello all, I’m towing my 2018 Jeep Wrangler but discovered a dead battery after two days of driving. I have installed the 7 pin wiring interface but did not connect to the center pin which I understand can be used to charge the toad while towing. Can I just connect that 12 VDC line direct...

Just made a 600+ miles round-trip from north Louisiana to south Mississippi. First time towing jeep liberty. I got 2 surprises. First, the V-10 ran on cruise at 62 mph right around 2200 rpms. While the route is mostly flat except for overpasses and bridges, I was happy to see very little down...

My wife and I just bought our RV and wound up selling her Nissan Rogue because it couldn’t be flat towed. We have just picked up a 2014 Mini Cooper S Countryman, low mileage, good condition and from what I can tell a very good Toad. I also bought a Blue Ox tow package (the baseplate, and light...

Is there an online marketplace for vehicles that are already set up to tow behind a motorhome?

I had my dealer install base plate, wiring, brake system to my Toad (2019 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid). They installed Blue Ox products. The one-day job turned into 3 days. The light wiring kit was the Blue Ox model specified for my car. It did not work-- initially only left tail lights, then no tail...

Here's an odd one but surely someone out there has seen this before My toad is a 2006 Jeep liberty and the brake system is Invisibrake. The invisibrake works by attaching a small cable to the brake pedal that is pulled toward the floor when activated. The issue I found, and did not anticipate...

Hello everyone! Newbie Class C & Dynamax owner here. Bought my Isata 4 31DS last fall and love it so far! We are in the process of spec'ing out what hardware we need to flat tow our '18 Wrangler Unlimited (JL). With the help of a rep at eTrailer, I've come up with this list of equipment...

Just ordered a Jeep Wrangler 2dr and will be setting up to flat tow behind my Forester Class C. Have a Blue Ox bar already. Appreciate suggestions for lights & Wiring. Do you use the Jeep lights? Do the diode wiring setups work? Easy to install? Is it possible to have the sidelights on while...

I just picked up a great deal on a almost NEW RVIBrake3 Aux. braking system for my car. (Only used 3 times then the guy sold his MH) It comes with the main brake system that tells you what to do so you don't screw things up. It will work totally my itself as it has an inertia system that...

We are getting a 2019 model 3010 DS Sunseeker motorhome and will tow a Toyota Corolla iM behind it using a Blue Ox tow bar. I am wondering what others have used to protect their toad from gravel and road debris?

Hi, we're looking to get a car tow Hitch. Looking at the blue ox. Is that the one to get? Opinions please! Thank you!

I have a sunseeker 3010DS and I needed a toad so I purchased a FIAT. In hindsight I now am thinking that with the max towing of 7500 lbs, maybe I should have spent more time thinking. I can trade my daily driver and Fiat in on a GMC Canyon (max 4500lbs) and have that for the daily driver and not...

I'm in the final stages of setting up my I3 to tow my 2013 Honda CRV. Any advice on the necessity of rock guards on the back of the Coach? Do you really need them? I was thinking along the lines of the Rock Tamers. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Can Anyone tell me what is on this car as a TOAD setup? Possible the manufacture of the base plate and help identifying the other two devices? I am considering this car as a toad and noticed these things - the dealer who has it didn't know it was set up as a TOAD and doesn't have a lot of info...

Hello. So I’m setting up my wife’s Explorer to be towed behind the MH. It is a push button start vehicle. My question is for brake lights. With the brake actuator in the car it pushes on the pedal and the brake lights come on. But the dash wakes up with every press. With this vehicle you don’t...

Looking for help. Battery on Jeep JL keeps going dead when towing. Air Force 1 Brake. Road Master break light with diodes. towed for 6 months no problem. now last 2 trips Battery on Jeep needs Jump start.

We have an older FR Sunseeker 27' that I am setting up to tow a 2014 Honda CRV. Blue Ox bar; Brakebuddy, isolated taillights. RV is in storage, but I want to gather materials for wiring connection. Question: what is the 2003 Sunseeker trailer light connector -- 4, 6, or 7 wire?

I installed a ReadyBrute towbar system a few weeks back but didn’t have time to finish the job. The RB has a built in braking system but there’s no way to tell if it’s working while driving down the road. The kit included an LED light that will come on if the brakes are correctly activated. Long...

Looking for advise on wiring a newer Jeep Grand Cherokee as a toad. I have the kit from road master but seems like there should be a way to plug into the factory harness w/o running individual wires back to each tail light

We have a toad with a Thule box on top. I can get into it by standing all over the seat and bracing myself on the open door but it's not that easy and a bother when my feet are dirty and one day I'm going to slip and fall. So, I got this from Amazon and it's deluxe, works SO great. Many...

I'm prepping my Jeep liberty 4wd for toad duty. Reading as much as I can about what works well for others in terms of towbars, brake systems, etc. Now wondering what tires work best in dealing with the yawing effect on front tires when turning. I'd love some input on things like . . . Is there...

I am getting everything together to set-up our 2017 Wrangler Unlimited to be towed. Big question from my wife, "How are you going to protect my Jeep"? :eek: Momma loves her Jeep!!! So far, the best protection I have seen is a bra type (rvandoffroad.com). What is some other ideas? I will...

Though I would post my solution for a problem. My Toad wiring plug at the hitch needed to be replaced. Just ordered the plug and replace, correct. The inner part would only come out of the socket 1/2" clear. Enough to loosen the screws but, not enough to reconnect the wiring. After thinking...

Just bought an '18 Wrangler JL to pull flat behind our FR3 32DS. I'd like to use the Roadmaster Nighthawk setup. Do I need to replace the front bumper to do this? And recommendations on a braking system for a Jeep that will be mostly a daily driver but towed 25-30 days a year?

Does anybody have experience with using a Trailer Toad to offload trailer tongue weight from a 1/2 ton F150? We would like to purchase the Forest River 266RLDS but it applies when loaded 1178 lbs tongue weight which is ~600 lbs more than the truck allows with a GVWR limit of 6800 lbs. All...
