Hi Rick & Robin,

I too am interested in one of those and a dealer in (strangely enough) Lyons, NY quoted me the same price. He had a used one on the lot without brakes. I wasn't interested but it did look sturdy.

We have a Master Tow (80THD-SURG $1818.00) with surge brakes towing a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid. It's served it well and the brakes have performed very well in one panic stop. Your price is about five to six hunderd less than new. I'd buy it again.

His add shows $1399 for electric brakes 80THDEB.
MASTER TOW DOLLY The guy working there did quote me $1295 and I think he has them on Craigslist for that pick up only. That was last fall though so I may have procrastinated to long.

I also have a Master Tow 80THDSB with surge brakes. I have towed two different Toyotas with it over 18,000 miles with only one problem. If you get one get it with LED lights or switch the bulb type to LED. The bulb type burn out quickly. I purchased mine from All Pro Truck and Trailer Accessories, Mechanicsburg, PA. I believe it was $1600.00 including drop and ball, wired out the door.

You can buy Master Tow LED lights as a upgrade kit. https://www133.safesecureweb.com/mastertow/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=8&cat=Tow%20Dollies well worth the money and effort. We had light problems as well. LED lights are guaranteed for life.

I also have the 80THDEB which tows very effectively. My only problem was with a car that has a low front cowling. Tore it up. New car also has low cowling but resolved problem by making small approach ramps with 2X8 lumber. On the road the 80THDEB stops very well. Good deal. BUY it.
