Thank you mowermech. That answers what I needed to know. I previously towed a TT behind my old F250 and was familiar with electric brakes, break away switches, and batteries. I was just wondering how a surge system would work if the toad itself bounced off the dolly. Leaving the car in park is not the same as a break away system. The parking pawl which is what keeps the toad in park is not a very beefy part and I suspect would not stop a loose toad. I'd much rather chain the toad to the dolly. That way you'd need a double failure to have a loose toad. Thanks for the education!
