On Chicago toll roads ... you need to stop and pay for the trailer if you are using an ez pass for just the tow vehicle.

Or you could get a second ez pass for the tow vehicle/trailer.

Now the real bummer is the Chicago toll roads a few years ago no longer "counts" trailer axles and jacked the toll for all tow vehicle/trailers up to the same charge as a semi.

So, I started avoiding the Chicago toll roads ... because the cost is ridiculous .

This is from the Illinois Tollway (iPass) web site FAQ section.

Can I use my regular I-PASS when I tow a trailer or drive an R.V.?
Yes. In fact, the new technology in the Open Road Tolling lanes will automatically calculate and deduct the proper toll. You no longer need to use the cash lanes or purchase a special transponder.
