Old Toad/New Experience

We are picking up this 1992 Geo Tracker 2wd MANUAL TRANSMISSION toad tonight. I tested it last night and it was a fun little "buzz-bomb", light and just enough room for us and our two dawg daughters.

We've never towed a toad before. Plenty of trailers across the country, but not a toad.

Not to set off a storm of controversy, but we are considering a tow dolly instead of investing in the various components for flat towing.

Any one else have experiences with toad towing on a dolly?

Thanks,eh?

Brad

    Interesting. He is buying a 2 WD not a 4 WD. I have towed a Geo 4WD. I don't think you can tow a 2WD 4 down or on a dolly.

    Don't think you can tow it 4 down anyway with 2 wheel drive. You may want to check if it can even be towed on a dolly.
