• Is a 2011 Ford F-350 Compatible with a Tow Dolly?
  Your F-350 has a curb weight of 6,588 lbs from what I can find online. Most tow dollies like our Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 will not handle that capacity so even if you pulled your drive shaft that likely isn't an option. If you wanted to flat tow it, I can give you that complete setup, but you will also need to disconnect the drive shaft for that. A trailer may be a better option depending on your reason for towing. If you want to flat tow it, I've attached an article to assist with the...

• Can 2014 Nissan Altima be Towed behind Motorhome
  Sounds like you are asking if it's possible to flat tow your 2014 Nissan Altima. I did some research on your vehicle and the only way it can be towed is with a tow dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 due to the CVT transmission the vehicle has. The advantage to a tow dolly is it's about the same price as a flat towing setup, takes MUCH less install time, and easily transferred to future vehicles as well.

• Can Vehicle Back Up While Towing Vehicle on a Tow Dolly
  The simple answer is that you do not. It's not recommended to back a vehicle that has either a flat towed vehicle or a vehicle on a tow dolly behind it because of how short the distance between the vehicles is. Attempting to do so will cause a jackknife that will damage the tow vehicle, the tow dolly or the vehicle on the dolly. Or all three. The only way you can safely back while towing would be to place the vehicle on a flatbed trailer, or to remove the dolly from the tow vehicle.

• Availability of Quick-Connect Tow Lights for Use with Tow Dolly
  For cases where your tow dolly does not include lights the way the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 does, we can help you with a set of easy-to-install and cost-effective towing lights. The linked page displays all of the removable tail light kits we have for flat towing. Most are magnetic mount like the # TL21RK. Both of these have a 4-pole flat trailer connector but we also have a kit that uses a 6-pin plug, # SPL30B-6.

• Can 2019 or 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander be Flat Towed?

• How Can 2016 Honda Civic Sedan be Towed behind Motorhome
  I did some checking and according to Honda the only way you'll be able to transport a 2016 Honda Civic behind a motorhome would be with a Tow Dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 as you cannot flat tow it with all 4 wheels on the ground. A dolly allows you to get the front wheels off of the ground and only the rear wheels will spin. I attached a review video for this dolly for you to check out as well.

• Should 2007 Pontiac Vibe Be Flat Towed Or Dolly Towed
  The flat towing products mentioned in the question you read will fit your 2007 Pontiac Vibe, you will more than likely need a lube pump or a drive shaft disconnect since your Vibe is an automatic. Unfortunately I am not able to confirm which components would be required. An easier option that absolutely works is Dolly Towing, and this option will not require any modifications to your vehicle. I recommend going with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1...

• Can 2016 Ram 1500 be Flat Towed Behind Motorhome and What Gear Should it Be In
  I pulled up the owners manual of your 2016 Ram 1500 and it can be flat towed only if the truck is a four wheel drive model. The specific instructions state that you'd need to put the truck in park and put the transfer case in neutral and you'd be ready to tow. If you had a manual transmission vehicle they state to put truck in GEAR (not neutral) and then also the transfer case neutral. Nothing would be damaged if you followed these steps. For a base plate kit you'd need the part # RM-52289-5...

  The 2016 Ram 1500 can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground only if it is a 4x4. If you have a 2-wheel drive Ram then it can be towed using a tow dolly with the REAR wheels off the ground. This is in the recreational towing section of the owner's manual, page 711. If you do have a 4x4 then for base plates I recommend # RM-52289-4.

• Can 2016 Ford Explorer Sport Be Flat-Towed
  According to the online edition of the Ford Owner's manual for the 2016 Explorer (pages 249 and 250), certain versions of the vehicle can be flat towed under specific conditions. The adaptive cruise control feature does not factor in, but Ford notes that FRONT-wheel-drive and FOUR-wheel-drive Explorers cannot be flat towed with all four wheels on the ground. Front-wheel-drive vehicles require a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1 to lift the front tires off the ground and four-wheel-drive versions...

• How to Tow Vehicle that Doesn't Have Base Plate Kits Made for it
  Best option we'd have would be a tow dolly for your 1991 Geo Storm. The benefits to a tow dolly over flat towing are that you don't have to install anything on the front of your vehicle, the dolly can be used on a different vehicle without having to rebuy towing components, and the price realistically is about the same and in some times cheaper.

• Electric Brake Controller Recommendation for 2009 Fleetwood Bounder M36B Diesel Pusher w/ Air Brakes
  Since a brake controller is tied into the brake stoplight switch located above the brake pedal, which is what tells the controller that the vehicle brakes are being applied, it will work on just about any vehicle, regardless of the braking system it uses. With that being said, I recommend going with the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller, # 90195, for your 2009 Fleetwood Bounder M36B Diesel Pusher with air brakes.

• Does Ignition of Vehicle Need to be On When Towing on a Dolly
  All tow dolly procedures would be in the owners manual of your Kia Forte, but in general you do not want to have the ignition on as that unlocks the steering wheel which would cause fender issues around corners when the vehicle is on a dolly like the # RM-2050-1 that you referenced. Having the steering wheel locked is what you'll want.
