well bought a newer toad. So I thought. I did my homework checked all the information I could. So we bought the vehicle. Then I read the owners manual. I what did I find, my peculiar is only totally on a trailer only. Its a 2018 equinox 2.0 turbo with a 9 speed transmission, fwd. The 2017 and 2019 and 20 can be flat towed. BIG mistake on my part. So now looking at trailers. Lesson? Read owners manual first. Revco. Even says it can't be towed and don't make a kit. BIG mistake on my part.

If it's just FWD and not AWD you'll be a lot better off with a tow dolly than a full trailer. We used a dolly with surge brakes for many years and never had an issue. Actually preferred it to flat towing (which we've also done) but I'm sure we're the exception to the rule.

Before even going to look at a new or used vehicle I always download the owners manual and go through it. They are available for every vehicle going back years.

Ouch! You did your homework but still failed the test. Maybe you won't take too much of a loss if you trade/sell and get a towable toad.
