Elite is the top and then the Touring right? It should be the same drive train though

Come on , ONE VIDEO?!?! Like why?

Yeah, but you’d have to own that car which would suck.

Can you do a longer video including cold start, warm start, idle, revs and maybe a fly by?

That shit sounds nice

I think those flat band clamps are made so you can take the system apart and change it out down the road if U dont like it. They don't put a dent in the pipes like the old-skool ones did. That would be the hair in the soup for me on them. I like your videos. you cover it from all angles

Thanks for doing this, we just bought 2024 for great deal and was wondering about snow here in Minnesota.

To many worries,should have kept my 2016 tundra😠

I was thinking my transmission was acting odd. I will try this.

All you keyboard engineers please pay attention. A class 8 truck weighs 17k pounds but tow rating is 33k to 80k max in usa. This guy is correct. The tow rating is completely changed when you use a toad. That is the entire point. Toads like this have been around since the 50s, it is not a new concept. The difference between this toad and one used on semi trailers, this one has friction pivots where semis dont. So the comments of this will push you around is not accurate. This put a small downforce on the back wheels, it has brakes connect to trailer brakes so it basically is a towable wagon at that point. Again for people confussed by the concept of these toads, they have been around forever and many are out there.

Looks like mode was on. I think in the snow you should drive with it off. Maybe you'd get better engine response, torque, and traction, which is what you need driving in the snow.

Has any had a vibration coming from the rear on the same style truck

So the axle of the “toad” is a pivot point. Trailer tongue pushes down on the rear of the toad therefore lifting the front of the toad where it connects to the tow vehicle. That seems like a problem in the making.

I put this same system on myself, I have a 2024 Tradesman Power Wagon, the sound is awesome, no drone that I can make out, when the MDS kicks in, I don't notice anything out of the norm, I did get a black tip off of Amazon, other than that, the truck sounds like a truck.

I know that this is 3 years old. I’m about to hit the road for the summer in my RV and needed a refresher on backing up. Very helpful to see the car and trailer moving at the same time. Thank you

I thought the hitch would be in the center of the Dolly so that they share weight. 50 50 or 40 60. So that there is traction on the car rear wheels

I found out it just turns off the light, bummer

You still like/use the toad? I have a tundra but my Jayco 263 RBs is within technical limits but just not happy towing it with my tundra. I think part of the problem is I have a fiberglass shell, and a bedslide which I’m sure takes several hundred pounds of my cargo capacity and rough roads, back roads, etc, make it a little squirrelly to drive. I just can’t relax at all. I’m seriously considering one of these. Thanks

What’s the reason for the extension? I missed that.

are you really getting 12 mpg? that's sad.

How annoying is it when it goes into 4 cylinder mode?

Bro why you so out of breath

Do u have another video of honda odyssey test drive?

Amsoil isn't any different than the Pennzoil for the tick. I have the tick, its there sometimes, and not other times. Tried both oils, used to be an Amsoil guy, really don't think it is any better than the Pennzoil that the truck calls for. Didn't do anything for engine noise.

thanks for the great video

It’s going to get way louder and drone like a whore

No rad cap is common. Just pull the bottom rad hose to release the coolant and the top hose to release the vacuum. There may be a petcock or bung on the on the rad, not sure. Then fill with water and flush solution. Every parts store sells a T to splice into the heater core supply to fill with water. Get it up to temp so the t-stat opens and solution has time to dissolve whatever is in the system. With coolant that bad looking, I would definitely use the solution and swap the heater core supply and return to reverse flush the core. Again, pop the lower rad hose to drain all over the patch of lawn you are trying to kill. You may need to pop the top rad hose at the rad to bleed the system of air when refilling with coolant. It is pretty high in the system so make sure you get the air out when done. Alternatively, literally watch any other rad flush video. Save the fluid extractor for changing the trans fluid (although don't forget the filter).

would be interesting if the toad was designed for the wheels to be beside the tongue and fixed so that way a longer extension can mount to the car to allow turning. Any alteration of the standard center mounting point like what you have would leverage your car upward and reduce weight traction. Interesting concept though. I guess a simple longer extension to the vehicle would be more effective.

Good test, trying on my 2023

I have a 2019 Challenger with the 6.4 MDS Hemi with 30k miles on it now. I really like the MDS, my gas mileage goes from 19-20 non MDS, to 30 plus MPG as high 40-50MPG going down hills and on the level just cruising with traffic when the MDS is activated, then when I starting to climb grades the MDS will go off, don't even feel it and the MPG goes down to the 15-19 range again up the grades. I don't feal the MDS going on or off, the systems works GREAT! My only issue with my Challenger is the added cost of having to purchase Premium gas. (It's the Direct Injection and the shit building up on the top of the valves that I'm concerned about. I do run a Catch Can.)

My 22 5.7 blew with 49K miles. Dealer had done all maintenance on truck at 4000 to 4500 miles. They said it was the MDS that killed it. On the bright side they replaced the motor in 17 days and paid for my rental no questions asked. I now use the second option to shut down the MDS.

Tires are much more important than snow mode. I have an Odyssey with great all weather tires and would have no issues with these roads.

The 1 and 8 button on the steering wheel is for the gear the transmission is in. Play with it.

You said you live in pa. I also live in pa. Mbrp has 2 price points. The lower end, the one I’m guessing you purchased they suggest you shouldn’t get if you live in an area that is subjected to weather like we get in PA. Have you noticed any issue with that I have been contemplating getting this system, the cheaper, one versus the more expensive one.

very interesting. Our 2021 Odyssey Touring always slips and slides alot specially when the snow is icy or slushy. We nearly got stucked on an uphill (along with majority of the traffic, only those with awd and usually lexuses were passing by all of the traffic while we all just keeps on spinning our tires and waited for the public works to help salt and clear the road to help the cars go up the hill). I had driven a Kia Soul, old Ford Escape, Subaru Impreza and Nissan Rogue (all are on an all weather stock tires) and has never encountered the amount of slipping I had with the Odyssey. I love the Odyssey's comfort, ride and space but the slipping and sliding on winter is making me think hard, would changing to winter tires drastically remove the slipping and sliding?

Trailer toads are very popular with class c motorhomes. I have used one for 15 years. Been flawless while keeping the tow vehicle safer to drive keeping weight on front steer wheels. Highly recommend Trailer Toad to remove tongue weight from your vehicle.

I have same truck, drones badly w MBRP from 1500-2000 rpms

Who is the manufacturer?

Thanks for sharing this! We're debating between a few minivans and this is a big point of contention.

What exhaust?

This guy is an idiot

Good info but not the best presentation. No reason it should take almost seven minutes to explain something most people could do in 30 seconds.

Interesting setup to say the least. There are 5 weights that should NOT be exceeded, GCVWR, GVWR, GAWR'S and HRR (Hitch receiver rating). I would like to see 4 scale tickets for this setup for a average trip. TV only, TV & Toad, TV Toad & TT with out WDH hooked up and lastly all with the WDH hooked up.

So how did you refill it up again?

Just buy something that can haul it

Thank you so much for posting this! Ive been going back and forth on getting an Odyssey because we live in a rural area.

A better solution would be to get a heavier duty tow vehicle.

I like the setup] stop in the weigh station in the truck stop see what the total weight the vehicle and trailer then do the math

Minivan Curb weight, 4,443 lbs. Gross weight, 6,085 lbs. Towing weight, 3,500 lbs. Travel Trailer Dry Weight, 3375 lbs. Cargo Capacity, 1104 lbs.

Min 3:00 Wait a minute... Shouldn't the ball-receiver be right OVER the axel? Should all that tongue weight be right ON the Toad axel?
