Specs:
When towing your vehicle with a tow bar, all 4 wheels are in contact with the ground. Certain vehicles - namely, those with front-wheel-drive automatic transmissions - require either a transmission lube pump system or a driveshaft disconnect when being flat towed. Using a tow dolly eliminates the need for those by lifting your vehicle's front wheels off the road. In addition, using a dolly eliminates the need for base plates that clutter the front of your towed car, difficult-to-install wiring, and a potentially expensive supplemental braking system. Also, if you want to tow multiple vehicles, this dolly is a great alternative to traditional flat towing because you don't have to purchase and install brackets and wiring for all of your cars.
The folding design of the Kar Kaddy SS allows you to save space in your garage and at your campsite. The tilting ramps and swing-away tongue each stow compactly against the dolly for an overall folded length of just 67". This maximizes space around the tow dolly when it's stored and reduces tripping hazards.
The integrated hydraulic braking system features Demco's eZ-Latch surge coupler and disc brakes for safe stopping of your towed vehicle. When the eZ-Latch coupler latch is in the closed position, drop the coupler over the hitch ball and the latch will snap into place. No need to pull the latch up to open the ball socket. The drop that's built into the coupler helps you match your tow vehicle height, and the included breakaway lever activates the tow dolly's brakes should it disconnect from your RV. All hydraulic lines and fittings come pre-installed with the hoses run through the frame.
Disc brakes provide more consistent stopping power and a shorter stopping distance than drum brakes for safer transport of your vehicle. When you apply the brakes in your motorhome, deceleration will occur and momentum will push the dolly toward the rear of your RV. This applies force to the surge coupler's master cylinder, which sends hydraulic fluid through the lines to engage the brakes. This design ensures that the dolly brakes proportionately to your motorhome, which helps to eliminate wear and tear on your RV's brakes. And, because the brakes don't require an electrical signal, an electric brake controller is not needed.
The wheeled jack lets you easily move the dolly toward your hitch for coupling and then conveniently swings up and locks into place alongside the trailer tongue for travel. Drop the jack back down and roll the dolly out of the way when you're done towing.
The main components of the Kar Kaddy SS come pre-assembled for fast setup. Use the included instructions and hardware to attach the main frame to the tongue assembly, then install the ramps, fenders, mud flaps, and wheels. Finally, connect the pre-routed wiring.
Prior to towing, bleed the hydraulic system to remove any air from the brake fluid reservoir. Brake fluid is not included.
The textured ramps allow for safe loading of your vehicle onto the integrated wheel platforms. Once your towed car is in place, drape 1 tie-down strap over each front tire. Secure the straps to the platforms, and then use the tie-down winches to easily tighten the straps around the wheels. Attach the included safety chains to your vehicle's frame and you're ready to set out.
Included tie-down straps fit most standard automotive tires. Straps for large (DM03528-93) or small (DM03528-81) tires are sold separately.
Hit the highway in the quality, well-engineered Kar Kaddy SS. The steerable axle allows the tow dolly to track directly behind your RV, preventing sliding and binding of the tires. The dolly's radial tires create less rolling resistance and heat buildup than bias ply tires, resulting in longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds. This makes radial tires ideal for highway use.
The full LED lighting package is DOT compliant for safe towing. Brake, tail, and turn signal lights, front fender marker lights, and license plate marker lights are included to increase visibility on the road.
The galvanized finish resists rust and chipping. And mud flaps and rustproof polyethylene fenders protect your vehicle from flying road debris.

Tow your vehicle without installing a tow bar or base plates. This galvanized tow dolly features hydraulic disc brakes for safe, controlled stopping and folding ramps for compact storage. Fits towed vehicle tread width between 42" and 76".Another GREAT experience with eTrailer!!!! They either quickly deliver a high quality product for a reasonable price, or they correct any error whether theirs or their provider’s without hesitation. In particular, Tanith and William E., as well as another young lady helped me navigate missing documents and a label damaged by a shipping company as quickly as I could hope for. Thanks again folks!
The Kaddy preformed as advertised. The construction material and the wiring was of good quality. The instructions for the assembly were written professionally and provided photos and sketches where needed.
The only reason I am giving this 3 stars. Being life has come up over the past year, we haven't gotten a chance to use it yet, except for a test drive around the neighborhood Assembly was not very difficult, if that helps, and construction seems very good
Well made sturdy product. Need two people to put it together with two jacks or a jack and blocking.
We have used it three times now with good results. I like the steering axle. It really helps on tight turns. The assembly went well. I did it alone but a helper would be nice.
Awesome tow dolly. Works just as expect ed.
Dolly worked perfect towing a 2019 Colorado From Upstate New York to Tampa Florida.
