Question for those who tow.

I know nothing about towing (never did it). I got the towing package on the GL in anticipation of towing my track car. So, starting with the base tow package (hitch receiver):

> What do I need in order to be able to tow? (Brake controller, hitch, ???).

> What are the most suitable / functional brands for the above?

If I tow, it would either be a dolly setup (zero tongue weight, 4,000 lb. load to pull), or a real, two axle trailer with a 5,000 lb. load, more or less.

TIA

Fifth,

There is actually quite a few discussion threads on towing, with quite a bit of the information that you are looking for...

Do a search of the GL Forum for "Towing" and take a look in those threads... If you have any additional questions, go ahead and post up.
