Okay, I'm a belt and suspenders kind of guy so I would like to ask some rookie summary questions regarding Flat Towing. I have never towed nor owned a tow vehicle before.
I plan to purchase a TOAD, I have narrowed it down and right now the Kia Soul with front wheel drive and Manual Transmission is lead vehicle. I contacted Kia.com (1-800-333-4542) and they researched it and the Soul can be towed 4 wheels down provided: RV has capacity (Soul 3800lbs), Soul has full oil, full trans fluid, brake released, towed front end first (yeah that’s a requirement), trans in Neutral, steering wheel unlocked, key in ignition in accessory position, all accessories turned off and correct tire pressure.
One of the Soul Dealerships in Charlotte says if they install the Soul tow connections it will not VOID the vehicle warranty. My questions to this Forum are: What changes are made to the TOAD and what are the attachment (cables, rods/arms) that connect to the RV called? Finally, any recommendation as to a brand?
