I looked up your 2015 Lexus ES350 and it can be towed on a tow dolly like the Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1 that you mentioned. You'll want to have the vehicle in Park and make sure the emergency brake is off too.

The Roadmaster tow dolly you referenced is a really great option for a dolly. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

Hi, I see the Lexus ES350 can be towed on a tow dolly in the above response but would you recommended strapping down the steering wheel even though it is locked once the car is turned off? I have read various comments about it saying the locking mechanism is not designed or strong enough. I will be using the Demco Car Kaddy SS. Thanks!

@Paul That's an interesting question but I would say go ahead and lock it with the seat belt to be as safe as possible. If you are unsure how to do that you would want to route your seat belt around the steering wheel a couple times and then buckle it. At that point pull the seat belt all the way out so that it triggers the locking mechanism and then let it go so that it take up all of the slack against the wheel. Finally tug on it a few times so that you get all of the slack out and it's essentially locked.

Answer 1

The correct strap for the 215/55R17 tires on your 2018 Volkswagen Passat for a Demco tow dolly, like the Kar Kaddy SS #DM9713045, is the standard size #DM03528. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

Hello Tom, thanks for reaching out. If your tow dolly already has brake lights that are DOT compliant, you actually would not need to add additional lights. If you still want to add a separate set of tow lights, the best way to do this is using the…

Hey Larry. The Redarc Liberty #RED24FR Won't light up with the brake pedal if no trailer is hooked up, or if you are sitting still. It's a proportional controller so it needs to detect movement. You really need to hook up your camper to…

Hey Mark, yes the Blue Ox Trion tow bar part #BX7520P would work great to flat tow a truck like your 2026 Chevy Silverado 3500. Then you will need a base plate kit like the Blue Ox part #BLU77UR. For lighting you can use the diode kit, #RM-15267, and…

You can have both a brake controller and a breakaway system since they serve 2 different functions. A brake controller, which may be required by law in your area (check local and state laws) will apply the trailer brakes when you apply the tow…
