Can a 1993 Ford Ranger 4WD (manual transmission) be towed 4 wheels down? It has two buttons on the dash - 4X4 & 4 Low. If it can be, then what must be done to do so? Thanks to anybody who reponds to this question.

We have started looking for a toad and towbar setup. We have pretty much decided on a Jeep Grand Cherokee and we know nothing about towing one. (Other than it can be towed 4 down) We could sure use some pros & cons about the different brands of towbars and braking systems. Thanks,&...

I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether I can tow my '97 Suzuki Sidekick 4WD with auto transmission? I see Suzukis mentioned as toads in another thread, within the limitation of 55 mph. Does mine fit in that category, given it's an automatic? It is a great little vehicle and I would hate to pa...

I have a 2005 Sabaru Forester. Can I tow it on all 4 wheels? I understand there is a place to look this up. Is it online or a book? Thanks for any help! Paul

Hi, I'm still trying to find a way to soften the non towing ride of our F350 diesel dually. I'm looking at the Mor-Ryde RL system for the drive axle and am wondering if anyone in the group has it, or knows anyone who has experience with it. Here's the link. http://tinyurl.com/2qf83m Any comments, or al...

Just bought a 30' Class C a month ago and have a few trailer questions. We'd like to tow our car behind us. Unfortunately, We own a Pontiac Vibe and are not able to tow 4 down. I've looked at dollys, and while it may be the cheapest thing to get, I'm interesting in your thought on getting a car hauler/ tra...

Does anyone have any experience with using a Vespa or any type of Motorscooter, simliar to what is common in Europe for 2 riders, in place of a toad? I realize that such transport would not be appropriate in bad weather, but I expect it might suffice for short trips for sightseeing in good weather. We...

I pulled the trigger last weekend on a 06 Jeep Liberty Limited, one of the last new ones on the lot. I'll be pulling it with my Class C. I already have an upgraded 5000lb tow hitch and it's wired, so that is taken care of. The Jeep weighs in at 4100lbs. I'm now looking for a tow bar, brake syst...

My husband and I are weighing the pros and cons of towing 4 down vs trailering the toad. My concern is RV park space - is there always sufficient space for the 40' MH with slides, the toad, and a trailer? Also, how difficult is it to load the toad in and out of the trailer, compared to hitching a...

With all the stress a tow bar is under, how often do you inspect it? I look over the pins, cables, bolts and arms just about every time I stop. I also jump up and down on the unit when it is hooked up to my car to check the car base plate. I replaced the main pin in the receiver this w...
