Brake Options for Your Car Dolly Needs
Understanding the importance of braking, especially when towing, Tow Max offers different brake system options to suit your specific needs and legal requirements.
Hydraulic Drum Brakes: Superior Stopping Power
For those prioritizing maximum stopping power, the Tow Max Heavy Duty Car Tow Dolly with hydraulic surge brakes is an excellent choice. This system integrates a Demco hydraulic actuator, reliable Dexter® uni-servo drum brakes, and an emergency breakaway cable. Hydraulic brakes offer a significant advantage over electric systems by providing self-contained, responsive braking that doesn’t rely on an external brake controller, particularly beneficial on steep inclines.
Important Note: The Tow Max with hydraulic surge brakes is exclusively available for local pickup at our Greenville, SC location due to its fully assembled nature.
Electric Drum Brakes: Reliable and Widely Shipped
The Tow Max Heavy Duty Car Tow Dolly with electric brakes provides a dependable and convenient braking solution. Featuring electronically activated Dexter® drum brakes, backing plates, and an Engager™ breakaway box, this system offers ample stopping power and added safety. While it requires a brake controller (not included) in your towing vehicle and a compatible 5-, 6-, or 7-pin connector (dolly comes with a 4-pin connector), electric brakes are a popular and effective choice.
The Tow Max with electric brakes will be shipped disassembled to the nearest freight terminal for your convenience.
Idler: For Non-Braking Requirements
If your state regulations do not mandate brakes for car dollies, or if you prefer a simpler setup, the Tow Max Idler™ model is available without brakes. This base model retains the same robust construction and design as the brake-equipped versions, offering a cost-effective and reliable solution for compliant areas.
Similar to the electric brake model, the Tow Max Idler will be shipped disassembled to the nearest freight terminal.

Important Towing Considerations
Before purchasing any car dolly for sale, including the Tow Max, it’s crucial to consult your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines to confirm tow dolly compatibility. Keep these points in mind:
- Front-Wheel Towing Only: Always tow a vehicle with its front wheels secured on the tow dolly.
- Steering Wheel Lock: Ensure your car’s steering wheel is locked during towing. If it cannot be locked, secure it to prevent movement.
- Transmission Setting: Determine the correct transmission setting (Park or Neutral) for towing as per your vehicle’s manual. For Neutral settings, ensure the ignition is appropriately set to maintain Neutral during towing, potentially requiring steering wheel securing if the ignition needs to be in the ON position.
- Battery Disconnection: Some vehicles may require battery terminal disconnection or ignition fuse removal to keep the transmission in Neutral. Consider using a memory saver to retain vehicle settings in such cases.
- All-Wheel Drive Vehicles: Towing all-wheel drive vehicles requires special attention. Consult your vehicle’s manual for specific instructions or consider professional towing services.
