Just ordered a Master Tow Dolly w/surge brakes

Thanks to the forum I just ordered a Master Tow dolly with surge brakes. Should be in about 3 weeks. I have learned alot reading around. They had 4 on the lot but none had brakes. Didn't really want to do the brake buddy thing.

I have a Stehl Tow Dolly with surge brakes. I prefer the surge brakes over the electric brakes. Also the brakes on mine are disc brakes and not the old drum brake style, better braking.

Do a thorough inspection before final payment, including lubrication for the bearings. Also, inspect the dolly before each day of towing. My Mastertow with elec brakes literally fell apart in its first year.

Good thing, since you can't use brake buddy with a tow dolly. The brakes have to brake the dolly's wheels. Braking the car's wheels merely tries to pull the car off the dolly.
