Need recommendation for toad

[DA_BUS]

I have towed a Impala on a cart, two full size Tahoes - four down (one half way across the country) and now a Lincoln MKX - four down. Learned a lot. I'd go 4 down and no cart. So far - my best choice - MKX, four down, a Demco tow bar - light hook up directly into the vehicle to use the signal lights on the car....no light bar - a electrical umbilical charge setup. Blue Ox brake system.

Lincoln MKZ Hybrids and Ford Fusion Hybrids years 2013-2016 can be towed 4 down by just putting in neutral.

Cut a closet dowel and insert a black rubber chair leg cover and you will be in business. Be sure your dowel rod is not real tight. I suggest you trim slightly and cover with tape to make it more water proof.

Walt,

I purchased two rubber stoppers from the local ACE Hardware store. I then twist them into the opening where the Blue-Ox pins would go.

Works like a charm!

Bottom line!!!! Choose a vehicle that you believe you will be comfortable driving. Call Blue Ox and be sure the vehicle is towable. I have heard sad stories about vehicles that were purchased that were not towable because of the transmissions. I tow a 2009 Saturn Vue that is perfect, but may not be for your needs. I have a switch installed to alleviate having to pull any fuses.

I use black rubber crutch tips to plug the round holes where the Roadmaster brackets go.

OP never did come back and say what he bought back in first week of September 2015.

All post since 9/1/15 have been mostly Hijacked questions or answers too Hijacked questions.

Our 2013 Grand Cherokee Limited has the most comfortable leather seats in any vehicle I have ever owned. I think it is because everything is electrically adjustable and it blows cool air if you want it to. But for me, I like driving my Sahara w/manual seats - to each his own. So towing we all the Sahara, for long road trips, we take the Grand Cherokee. have fun. mark

That's what usually happens on this forum more often than not!
