Hey Fred, just a different point of view... I have a Tuff Tow... Its very simular to the Trailer Toad.. But mine is attached inside the frame rails of the trailer. Still have to pin it to back up but this unit does not make your rig any longer... But does the same for the tongue weight... I have used mine for 5 years now and love it... See Shogun Industries website... As I said before just another way of doing the same thing... If you are interested pm me an e-mail and will send you photos.. Can't hurt to see all the options...
