I know it is not the best picture, but here is our tow vehicle. It is a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. Lots of fun and it is super easy to hook up and disconnect. Am looking at the tow protector/defender to keep rocks off of it, but they get a little pricey.

2014 Honda CR-V, BlueOX tow bar and base plate, Roadmaster charge line kit and wiring harness for the brakes, Stay In Play Duo for the braking system. Did it all myself with the help of my little one. It was a fun project!

We typically tow the F150KR and occasionally the Escape with a Stehl Dolly. They weigh about the same

New Freedom Elite owners wanting to tow 2018 Toyota Highlander. Book says either front two or all four wheels up. What trailer do we go shopping for?

By all means get a Tow Defender. We bought new in 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Two seasons of hauling it behind the ACE and no nicks in the Cherokee. Bit salty but worth every penny in my book!

The 2018 Motorhome Magazine doesn't list a Highlander as flat towable. If the owners manual says it can be dolly towed then that would be the only way to tow it. Curb weight of that Highlander looks to be between 4100 and change and 4400 and change. You don't say which model Freedom Elite you have. If your Freedom elite is on a Chevy 3500 chassis the weight of the Highlander and tow dolly will be over GCWR for the motorhome.

We tow 2008 Jeep Wrangler JK, 2 door Auto trans hard top, use Road Master Break Pro and Blue Ox tow bar, direct connection to tail light from coach, absolutely no complaints, we have the 5 Star Tuner so that helps a bit on shifting.

I flat tow a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, or trailer the Harley.

Someone in the RV park here has a Maserati, I don't see a trailer and doubt they are flat towing it, so I am guessing one drives the RV the other drives the Maserati?

Imagine the fights over who gets to drive what...

Maybe its a Smokey and the Bandit thing: They have "contraband" in the RV so the car is just running interference.

funny thing is we didnt buy it to flat tow, we bought it as pure WTF we miss our old super duty.
i found out it was four down equipped while reading WAR and PEACE ( the owners manual) figuring out all the new tech and safety stuff




at 7500lbs she will be the last one picked to run behind and push
