    Tow Dolly Speed

    It appears I will be having to use a tow dolly for my 2017 Lincoln MKC behind the 2016 Windsport 34J. I searched on the forum and couldn't find an answer. I read that the max speed recommended when using a tow dolly is 55mph. Is that accurate in actual travel?

    2026 Jeep Recon All Electric 4 Wheels Down Towing Capability

    Just announced, supposedly order-able this January. No V2H capability according to the dealer. Being able to run our coaches with that 100Kwh battery would be pretty amazing.. GM & Ford sell that already. But they don't have one you can tow 4 down yet.

    Who’s Towing with a ford Transit B+/C

    I’m looking into downsizing from my Class C/E450. The Ford transit looks appealing to me. I’m looking at the class B+/C platforms. They have a GVW of 11,000 lbs. It seems they all maxed out with a GCVW of 15,000 lbs. Most have a 5000 pound hitch but after calculations, they can only tow around...
