THOR #3510
We returned Saturday, from a 3 week trip to Colorado and New Mexico.
We visit the Rockies, every year. Having towed our enclosed motorcycle trailer and now, our 'new to us' Jeep.
Tow haul in the mountains is a must for us … and it seems that the
'smart transmission' on the E450 keeps getting better the more we use our Axis.
When we are on the plains of KS, Ron usually disengages the tow/haul.

I noticed someone stated that the weight of the RV and Toad pushing during stops is quite a load....do you not have a braking system on your Toad ?
Our little TJ Sport only weighs 3250 lbs soaking wet...and it has a Patriot Brake...when Ron gently hits the brakes to slow down...the Patriot does not engage...however, when he hits them a bit hard that Patriot hits the Jeeps brakes accordingly.
We wouldn't have it any other way !
If I misunderstood your post...I do not mean to offend anyone.

I know many folks on this Forum will be happy to add information regarding this safety feature.
