Brakes on a towed personal vehicle behind a semi?

Recon those Mexicans you see towing 2 vehicles behind one have brakes on the towed vehicles?

 

Ever pulled a tow dolly? Especially empty? Loud as hell. Enjoy. I hate the things. I'll always flat tow, always have, always will.

 

also need to consider if the Colorado's steering wheel locks once the (steering) wheel is turned

 

It says Dinghy towing is not allowed. Didn’t say anything about Dolly towing being prohibited.

 

The manual contradicts itself a few times. And makes you flip to various sections.

 

You WANT the steering locked if you have the rear wheels on the dolly and the front wheels on the road .

 

Oh

yeah , they are definitely loud when empty but can’t do anything about that .

last time I used one was behind my 4 runner to go pick up a suburban ,

When I got the burb I just put the dolly behind it and towed the 4 runner back , I put the rear wheels on the dolly and made sure I had the fronts streight and locked em .

 

correct, but not if flat towed as was also being discussed

 

Flat towing an automatic trans vehicle is usually pretty expensive .

unless you leave the engine idling and the trans in N .

I’ve seen that done several
Times

seen a few people do it with manual trans vehicles too .
