If you are towing an enclosed trailer with a motor home, SUV or pickup truck, the Trailer Toad will help you tow safer and smoother, and will eliminate stress on the frame and body of the tow vehicle.

Heavy tongue weights cause frames to flex, even with extra bracing, and this leads to side wall flex and problems with slide-outs on motor homes. Motor homes and trucks with heavy tongue weights end up light on the front tires under braking causing control problems when stopping and less control in strong crosswinds. The heavy tongue weights are transferred to suspension components and tires. This could lead to premature failure of tires from overloading and early suspension failures.

Motor homes and trucks with heavy tongue weights end up light on the front tires under braking causing control problems when stopping and less control in strong crosswinds. The heavy tongue weights are transferred to suspension components and tires. This could lead to premature failure of tires from overloading and early suspension failures.

The Trailer Toad responds to these problems by actually carrying the tongue weight and keeping it off the rear of the tow vehicle. The patented design, suspended torsion axle and E-rated radial trailer tires are capable of handling up to 3,000 lbs. of tongue weight and gross trailer weights in excess of 17,000 lbs.

The patented pivoting rear axle actually "steers" and follows the tow vehicle, which dramatically reduces sway and prevents the Trailer Toad tires from scuffing in turns. The support of the Trailer Toad means the ABS braking system on the tow vehicle will perform as designed and the rear suspension and tires will not be overloaded since they carry no additional weight. To back up, simply attach the Reverse Bar to three pins to lock the axle, and the trailer backs up as usual.

The Trailer Toad installs into the existing receiver hitch on the tow vehicle and adds only two feet to overall length of trailer and tow vehicle. No special hitches or modifications are required. The Trailer Toad is an equalizer hitch extension and not a trailer, so it does not need to be registered or licensed.
