2009 Jeep Sahara Toad
I just bought this Jeep Sahara 4dr/4wd and had it equipped with a blue ox base plate, blue ox tow bar and a Brakemaster 9000 braking system.
This Jeep weighs in around 4269 lbs and is towable without major modifications. Just put the transfer case in neutral, transmission in park, disconnect the negative battery cable, key in accessory possition, hook up and go.
I took this unit for a “test tow” pulling it with a 400 cummins / Freightliner chassis coach. While driving down the interstate, I couldn’t see the jeep in my mirrors but kept my backup camera manually turned on just to keep an eye on things.
You wouldn’t even know that you were towing anything – I felt like I had the exact same power going up hills as I did without the toad. That 400 Cummins is a workhorse.
I’ll be taking this unit into Canada July 2009. I’ll be paying close attention to the fuel consumption so I can compare with / without the dinghy behind the motorhome.
More to come .. in July.
