Note: Your local municipality requires you to register your trailer with the DMV. An etrailer representative will be reaching out to get information from you for the title.
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.
Tilting Bed Frame
The tilting bed frame makes loading and unloading your vehicle a breeze. Pull the latch handle on the dolly's tongue toward the coupler to drop the bed frame. This will angle the loading ramps down to make it easy to drive your car onto the dolly. Once your car is properly loaded, the weight of your vehicle on the dolly will automatically reengage the latch on the tongue assembly and return the platform to a locked, level alignment. There's no need to manually relatch the bed after loading your vehicle. After unloading your vehicle, realign the platform by simply stepping down on the tongue until it latches into place.
Hydraulic Disc Brake System
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.
Setup and Use
The main components of the Kar Kaddy X 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.
Built for Highway Use
Hit the highway in the quality, well-engineered Kar Kaddy X. 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, and license plate marker lights are included to increase visibility on the road.
The galvanized ramps and black powder coated components resist rust and chipping. And rustproof polyethylene fenders protect your vehicle from flying road debris.

Tow your vehicle without installing a tow bar or base plates. This powder coated tow dolly features hydraulic disc brakes for safe, controlled stopping and a swivel platform. Fits vehicles with tread width between 42" and 78".by: William01/09/2024
The Kar Kaddy was meticulously packaged and palleted. Iy arrived in great condition, thanks for using UPS freight. Instructions for assembled were straight forward. You will spend some time gettin the yoke assembly inserted and secure as the electrical connections get in the way. We ended up using cable items on the connector to keep them up and away from the pivot bolt hole. Also the taillights are a little tricky to install. I can see how people complain they fell out as you must take some time to ensure they are fully inserted in the mountain grommets. Great caddy and very well built. The brakes were easy to bleed with a power bleeder. I look forward to the upcoming camping season as now we can bring the VW toad (EOS) with us.

The trailer is great but the tail lights fall out on the road, it happened 3 different times.
by: Richard 07/16/2023
We love the new car dolly. Tows well and so
Much easier to load than our previous dolly. We have had one problem. Both of the tail light holders on the fenders cracked. I called and they were both replaced. I did have to clean out the old rivets and re-river the new holders on. Also, we lost one of the tail
Lights, it popped out on a bad road. I was told it was because I did not install it correctly because I did not hear a double snap
When installing. I corrected the problem by drilling a hole
In the led light and placed a zip tie on the light in case it popped out.
by: Eric09/01/2022
After I finally received tow dolly,crate/packaging was destroyed. I thought things were OK, but it turns out the brake coupler where tongue meets frame was all bent up and I was not really able to make the coupling to have a operable tow dolly. I went around with etrailer support and was finally referenced to go to Demco for help. Democo sent out a new coupler. But I have to pull brake line in tongue to attach female couple end. After getting new coupler added I will have to do a full brake bleed.
Needless to say I will not be recommending buying this tow dolly from Etrailer.

I sincerely apologize for the experience that you had with us. This is the typical experience that we want to provide. I have sent this to my customer service team for review.
by: Charles 02/14/2024
was surprised how fast it arrived. Also, only assembly needed is attaching the tongue to the trailer.
by: David07/09/2023
The trailer is great BUT UNFORTUNATELY the wiring and lights are a constant challenge and struggle on essentially every trip.

I am sorry to hear that it has been a challenge to use. I wanted to ask if you could explain in more detail what has been going on with the wiring and lights.
by: Gerard 07/25/2022
Not that easy to put together, parts are very heavy. Instructions not real clear. On the plus side it is very sturdy much better than my previous dolly. More conveniences than other dollies I have used. I just need to figure out how to bleed the brakes, I have not seen any info on that.

Best Dolly on the market. Heavy duty, convenient and pulls great.
by: Gary02/16/2023
This seems to be a well built dolly. Only issue was one fender had slight damage and was missing the light wire bundle tie strap located on the back of the fender. They really need to build a proper shipping pallet for these. Mine was on 3 pallets that we're hobbled together, and nearly destroyed by the time I received it.
by: Alan04/01/2024
not an easy assembly.
like the dolly. seems highway worthy.
let ya know soon.
by: David 05/28/2023
Have not had a chance to use yet. Kar Kaddy had all correct parts and assembled very straight forward. No issues.
by: Amy01/07/2023
We are extremely disappointed with all the electrical problems this trailer has. We expected high quality design and instead received a trailer that isn’t up to the task. The plastic housing for the lights cracked. We were sent a replacement. Then that replacement cracked. The wiring for the lights inside the housing twisted apart. The construction of the light system allowed the whole assembly to spin around as we went down the road until the wires snapped. We have spent more time with non functioning lights and too much time repairing a brand new $XXX trailer. Not Happy.
by: Ron 06/19/2023
Looks well built delivered well put together was fairly easy the instructions were a little confusing
by: Donald02/28/2022
I think it is a great tow dolly, however I did have an incident 6/2021 while crossing Pennsylvania on the interstate between Wisconsin and New York, my passenger side, dolly tail light disappeared. Evidently a bump or pothole must have popped the tail light out of its socket and bouncing pulled loose connectors. It was there at the west side of the state, but gone by the time we got to New York. Not the best interstate I've ever been on!

It sounds like it was a rough interstate. We do have the replacement tail light for the tow dolly. It is part # DM45MV.
by: Bobby A08/31/2020
There are two aluminum threaded chunks that the two arm braces bolt to the tounge. these need to be changed to steel threaded chunks with some type of locking measures because we all know that aluminum will not hold these bolts in because of the viberation of the dolly. One of mine fell out within the first 5 miles and the other was loose when I noticed it.
by: Robert 11/21/2020
I ordered this trailer on Monday and it arrived on Friday. The quality is incredible. I assembled it by myself without any issues. We towed our Corolla around the Texas Hill Country this weekend and it worked perfectly. Thanks
by: Richard12/15/2022
Tow dolly was very well packaged, no damage so far. It looks to be a very heavy duty tow dolly.
by: Sharon 12/22/2022
Quality of product is excellent. This was our second Demco Dolly.
by: FAW III10/26/2022
Unit worked great - Instructions to put unit together were less than helpful - I'm not sure if the average person could have done it??
Need more detail!!!
by: Steve 07/20/2022
I put it all together today, you do have to be a little mechanical to do it, don't put the tires on until the fenders are on, just a little extra work, other than that it's very well built.
by: Rick03/25/2022
After getting shipping details staightened out which etrailer did product is well built heavy duty. Wont put together until i get back from vacation very happy so far.will finish with pics after vacation
by: Cassie04/09/2022
So far a very nice trailer and good looking. My Volvo V60 wagon fit nice. No slapping underneath
by: Mike04/22/2021
Was missing a few bolts that I was able to get at local hardware store. Directions could have been clearer. Other than that, perfectly satisfied with purchase.
by: Jeff03/06/2022
Appears to be a great product, but assembly IS required. Assembly instructions are not intuitive.
by: Melvin 08/25/2022
Easy to assemble, easy to load and unload. Great product and great customer service.

- Can The 2014 Ford Escape SE Be Flat TowedFord does not allow for the 2014 Ford Escape SE to be flat towed but they do allow for Dolly Towing if your model is FWD. All you'll need is the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093 and you'll be good to go. If you have a 4WD model then you'll need to trailer tow your Escape with all four wheels off of the ground.
view full answer... - Does the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly Pivot for Easier TurnsThe Demco Kar Kaddy X, part # DM9713093, pivots on the tray to act as the vehicle's front wheels turning. The arm stays rigid. In this way, you will be able to make turns much easier.
view full answer... - How Could 2012 Jeep Wrangler be Towed with Tow DollyYour 2012 Jeep Wrangler can be towed with all four wheels down but if you wanted to tow it on a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy part # DM9713093 you'd have to install a driveshaft disconnect for the rear axle. We do not offer driveshaft disconnects.
view full answer... - Can I Flat Tow a 2007 Honda Element LX with FWD and Automatic TransmissionI looked through some of my resources and from what I'm able to find the 2007 Honda Element LX with FWD and automatic transmission must be towed on a tow dolly with the front wheels up. This is very common for FWD vehicles with automatic transmissions that do not have the ability to disconnect the front drive shaft. I recommend that you confirm this information in your vehicle's owner's manual, since that is the best source of information in these cases. Since you'll need to tow your...
view full answer... - Solution for Towing 2022 Ford Bronco Sport Behind MotorhomeThe short answer to your question is you don't. The 2022 Ford Bronco Sport states in the owner's manual "You cannot recreational tow your vehicle with all wheels on the ground because vehicle or transmission damage could occur." The Rear, All-Wheel, and Four-Wheel drive models require using a trailer. If you have the Front-Wheel drive model you can use a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093.

I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093 as it comes with everything you'll need to tow in one package. The front wheels of your Edge will go up on the dolly and can be secured in place with the included tie-downs. Since this dolly has hydraulic brakes you won't need to use or install...
view full answer... - Recommended Solution for Dinghy Towing 2020 GMC AcadiaFrom what I was able to find with my research it doesn't appear that the 2020 GMC Acadia can be dinghy towed behind an RV, but it does appear that you can use a tow dolly. I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes - Tilt Bed Frame - 4,800 lbs - Wide Tread # DM9713093, which will allow you to tow your Acadia with 2 wheels up behind your new Coachmen Class A motorhome. This dolly can be used with vehicles with a curb weight of up to 4800-lbs and tread width of up to...
view full answer... - Could Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow 1998 Chevy Tahoe 2 DoorDue to the age of your 1998 Chevy Tahoe it's hard to be totally sure if the info I was able to find is accurate so you may need to find a weigh station to you but it looks like your vehicle weighs 4,500 lbs which is under the weight capacity of the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093 which is rated for 4,800 lbs so this would work well for you.
view full answer... - Can A 2012 Honda Pilot FWD Be Flat Towed Honda does not allow for your 2012 Honda Pilot FWD to be flat towed but does allow it to be dolly towed with a dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093. Since this dolly trailer comes with lights and straps there's nothing else you'll need to pull your vehicle behind your motorhome.
view full answer... - Recommended Tow Dolly For 2018 Volkswagen BeetleFor your 2018 Volkswagen Beetle I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes # DM9713093 which is designed for vehicles with a tread width of 42"-78", and since your Beetle has a 72" tread width, it will fit perfectly. The Demco # DM9713093 uses hydraulic disc brakes for increased braking power, and since it uses hydraulic brakes you will not need a trailer brake controller as the braking is controlled by the surge brake actuator on the coupler of the dolly.
view full answer... - Can 2016 Jeep Renegade be Flat Towed Behind MotorhomeIt looks like the 2016 Jeep Renegade can't be flat towed but I do have a solution that will let you tow it behind your motorhome. As long as it's front wheel drive you can use a tow dolly to tow it behind your motorhome like with the Demco Kar Kaddy X part # DM9713093. The cost between a flat towing setup and a dolly ends up being about the same but with a dolly there's not nearly as much install time required, the vehicle doesn't end up getting modified, and it's easily useable on other...
view full answer... - Low Profile Tow Dolly Recommendation for Towing Volkswagen BeetleHey Kelly, for a lower profile tow dolly the best option is the Demco Kar Kaddy X part # DM9713093 which was designed for vehicles like yours that do not have a lot of ground clearance.
view full answer... - Recommended Tow Dolly for 2019 Acura MDXActually, instead of the GVWR of the 2019 MDX, you'll want to refer to the curb weight of the vehicle; this measurement is going to be the weight of the vehicle without luggage or passengers, which is how the vehicle would be towed. According to my research, the curb weight of the 2019 Acura MDX is at most 4300-lbs. This means that you can use a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093 since the weight of your vehicle will be under 4800-lbs when towed. The Kar Kaddy X is designed...
view full answer... - Maximum Width Vehicle For Demco Kar Kaddy X The Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093 is compatible with vehicles that have tread width between 42" and 78" wide, so you'll want to measure your vehicle from the outside of one tire to the outside of the other in order to determine if this tow dolly will work for your 2018 Honda Fit EX L. From what I'm able to find the Honda Fit is around 67" wide, but I recommend that you verify this independently.
view full answer... - Will A 2018 VW Beetle Work On The Demco Kar Kaddy X DM9713093To answer your question, yes, a 2018 Volkswagen Beetle will fit on the Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093. That said, I was reading over the owners manual for a 2018 Beetle, and they do include some very important tidbits regarding towing the vehicle. They state that the vehicle should never be towed at speeds above 30 mph and the vehicle should not be towed more than 30 miles. If the vehicle must be towed you can do so with a tow dolly with the front wheels off the ground. I do suggest that...
view full answer... - Can Demco Kar Kaddy X Be Used to Tow 2022 Chevy Spark with Automatic TransmissionYes, we have confirmed with Demco that the Kar Kaddy X tow dolly part # DM9713093 is compatible with your 2022 Chevy Spark with an automatic transmission. Since your vehicle can't be flat towed with all four wheels on the ground this would be a really great option.

The main frame, the tongue, the ramps and fenders are all sub-assemblies that would need to be installed to the dolly as outlined on page # 25 in the linked instructions. Due to the superior disc brake system used on this particular tow dolly, this is the model I recommend most often. Assembling the dolly requires basic hand tools and is pretty simple if the instructions are closely followed. I'd say that someone with average mechanical...
view full answer... - Will Demco Kar Kaddy X Bounce on Highway When UnloadedAny unloaded tow dolly, like the Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093, will bounce when empty and driving at higher speeds - this is just the nature of towing something relatively lightweight behind a motorhome. To help prevent this Demco recommends lowering the psi in the tires to 20 psi so the sidewalls aren't as rigid (might go lower if you still see bounce) and then don't go any faster than 55 mph. Be sure you fill the tires back up to the correct psi rating prior to loading a vehicle on the...

To dolly tow what sounds like a 2017 Chevy Cruise with a 1.4 liter engine it has to have an automatic transmission. If this is what car you have, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes item # DM9713093. The Kar Kaddy features hydraulic disc brakes for safe and reliable braking. The brakes are actuated by a surge coupler that compresses when you apply the brakes in your 2005 Ford Lexington, so you won't need a brake controller. The tow dolly includes...

The wheel width is going to be 77" on your Sienna which will fit within the 78" wheel width of the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093. You can determine the wheel width of your vehicle by finding the Track Width(Distance between center of tires on the same axle) and adding the tire width. For your Sienna the track width is 67.7", plus the tire width 235mm or 9.3" gives you...

The Kar Kaddy features hydraulic disc brakes for safe, sure and reliable braking.
