Setting up a TOAD

Hi I have a 2017 Axis and am on the gulf coast of FL. I am looking to flat tow a vehicle and looking for any advice on where to go and what I need to make the process as simple as possible. Trying to do it on the fly as I’m traveling. I’ll have about 2 weeks at each location I stop at around the gulf. I know I need a base plate, wiring kit, tow bar, and braking system. Anything else?

any 4-wheel or Truck Accessory shop can easily add a baseplate to your vehicle, run the rear light wiring, and have you ready to go in no time... they do this type of stuff EVERY DAY all day...easy.

Go to the Blue Ox website and look up dealers on your route. Be mindful that dealers may not have every type of baseplate in stock and they may have to order.
