• Can 2007 Toyota Tacoma be Flat Towed Behind Motorhome
  Hey Ruben, to flat tow or dolly tow a 2WD 2007 Toyota Tacoma would require a driveshaft disconnect which we do not carry. You'd have to source that somewhere else but if you do that you could use the Roadmaster base plate kit # 1175-1 and Falcon tow bar part # RM-520. Tow dollies aren't bad either but I wouldn't want to store one so that's not route I would go unless you have plenty of room to store one.

A few things to keep in mind with this base plate kit is that it will not work...
