Scion XB for toad

[Busted Knuckle]

Someone advised on another thread not to believe car salesmen when asking about toads....and http://www.towingworld.com/dinghytowing.pdf shows tht ALL Toyota's with standard transmissions can be towed 4 down.

Add to the fact that I've towed my Scion, with 5 speed standard transmission, all over the country without any problems at all...and that should blow Jim's car salesman out of the park.

Jim, we just hook it up, turn the ignition key to 'Accessory' and as Jackie Gleason used to say, "Awaaaaaay we go!"

Bob for a moment when I first read that I thought it said "we just hook it up, turn the key to accy and put JACKIE in it and AWaaaaaay WE GO!" OOopps my bad I guess I better get my glasses fixed! LOL!   BK

I'm stunned, I simply cannot belive I got bad info from a car salesman!!!
  Bob what kind of towbar and baseplate are you useing?  The front of the XB does not look baseplate friendly.

Ah, Jim...m'friend...never judge a book by its' cover.  Beneath the small, short, seemingly inconsequential hood of a Scion lies the heart of a Tiger!

Both Roadmaster and Blue-Ox make base plates for the Scion.  My suggestion is that you make sure they use Grade 8 Bolts on installation.

As I pointed out in a previous post...I use the 10,000 tow bar so that li'l tiger doesn't get into an arm wrestling match with my little bus!
