dadlarryfisher Report post Posted July 28, 2013 We have a 2002 Dutch Star DP 350 Cummins on a Spartan Chassis and are looking at purchasing a 2005 Ford Focus Wagon for a toad. First timers about to travel for a year in the RV. How involved is the modification to the toad for towing. Then we have to worry about what type of braking system to get. Any advice out there.

desertdeals69 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 Like Brett says a manual transmission is a must and in my opinion any toad should have a manual transmission. As far a equipment is concerned check with Roadmaster, I prefer them because they make all their parts and assemble them in house not like some of the others that have parts manufactured offshore. Roadmaster also inspects their tow bars at major rallys free of charge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
