danhester Report post Posted April 11, 2012 I am new to towing and trying to understand all that is involved. If you tow with a tow dolly that is equipped with surge/electric brakes, do you have to have a supplemental braking system in the vehicles itself, like a brake buddy or something else. Our vehicle is a 2011 4x4 Jeep Wrangler. Thanks for any feedback. Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Briarhopper Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Welcome. Short answer is it depends on where you will be towing. Different locations have different laws and regulations and I think some do require all axles have brakes. So, if you are going to be towing in a certain area, check out the laws in that area. There are numerous topics already posted in this forum that discuss dollys. When I searched for "dolly brake" it found 24 topics. You might also post what you are towing and towing with and get some feedback from folks who have similar vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MuckSavage Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Check your owners manual. I don't think the Wrangler can be towed on a dolly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
