Jeep reviews

Setting up a vehicle to be towed by any RV is a significant undertaking. Such a vehicle is commonly referred to as a toad. There are only certain vehicles that can be towed, and these change from year to year. Certain YouTube podcasters cover this selection regularly. After acquiring a vehicle that can be flat towed, you need to find a service provider that can install the right equipment. These are sometimes difficult to find. The tow bar goes on the RV, which also must be properly wired for lights and braking systems. It will also have safety chains and an emergency brake-away. The toad itself will need a baseplate (where the tow bar connects), a braking system, a wiring harness to operate the proper lights, and a battery charging wire to keep the toad's battery functional. All of this can be very expensive. Not everyone wants to go through this set-up process. It would be very helpful for RVTrade (RV Insider) to offer a place to shop for toads that are already set-up. They are an essential for many RV owners. Anyone trying to sell an RV would benefit from having this market available. Anyone buying an RV would benefit from someone else's set-up efforts. What do you say RVInsider? How about a whole new category? Show less

Towing a lifted Jeep Wrangler Smoky Mountain provided instant curb appeal behind my Super C Dynamax DX3. Its light at 4400 lbs, curb weight, and effortless to to tow with the airbrake controller. Its very fuel efficient while towing - we were getting c.9.5mpg and cruising at 60-65mph. It was very easy to connect and disconnect, you can take off the hitch and be driving in to the local town from the RV park in minutes. Having a lifted Jeep means you can traverse some of the toughest offroad conditions getting to that tucked away fishing spot or trail head. With the heated seat option giving you that extra comfort in the colder climates ! Show less

The Jeep Wrangler is the best vehicle you can buy for a toad. One lever and its in neutral, key switch is configures so no kill switch is need. The hardtop is for safety, yet both front panels lift off in good weather. It is short, you don't even know its back there. We towed one for 2 years behind our class C, then went to a class A. Jeep has been behind both. Show less

Using a Jeep 4 Door Wrangler as a toad pull along offers many advantages to a CLASS A, B, Super-C style Motor Homes. The number 1 reason is it’s tow-ability, at just at 4400 lbs, curb weight with over 1200 lbs of cargo. We used it behind our Super-C and did not ever have an issue. What we liked best is you can head for your evening or weekend pull through site, drop it in seconds and your free to enjoy exploring, a hidden winery or restaurant, or just site seeing. There is plenty of room for family, shopping and friends you meet along the way. We have found off the path fishing spots, the old Pony Express Trail, the back roads to old mines or scouted for a good Boondocking site on BLN or FS land. The roof rack has served as a race day and balloon watching platform, hauled canoes, kayaks during our road trips. One of the greatest adventures is finding remote lakes, river or hot springs to enjoy. It’s a Jeep thing, most SUVs, cars and trucks limit your exploration options, but a Jk can get you there and back and still take you out on the town. This Rubicon has been well taken care of and offers more than looks tagging along behind your rig. It’s the other half of why you headed out on the road to adventures. Show less

We have been RVing since the middle 70s and are now on our twelfth coach. During that time we have always flat tow many and of all kinds cars. Many of them have been 4 wheel drive with a transfer case, or have been rear wheel/front 2 wheel drive without a transfer case. We have had drive shaft disconnects for both rear and front 2 wheel as well as front wheel cars that could be towed without drive shaft disconnects. With out a doubt the best and easiest car to tow is a Jeep Wrangler 4 wheel drive - we have had 3 over the years. It is very easy to set for towing and pulls like a trailer. We are now downsizing to a Sprinter chassis driven and will miss the Jeep very much. Show less

I would highly recommend the 2007 Jeep Liberty as a great flat tow vehicle. My wife and I have towed it behind our class A coach for the past 16 months without issue. It was easily converted to the M&G inline brake system which allowed us to tie directly into our coaches airbrakes to have the jeep work in tandem. Being a 4x4 it gave us offroad capability all over the country. It is a smaller suv so it is easy to tow, to park, and practical enough for on the go cargo needs. Only downside is the 16-19mpg average on our Limited 4x4 model. Positive is thst the Liberty has no tow restrictions ie speed restrictions or required warm up of transmission or fuse removal. Basically put tranfer case in neutral and go. Show less
