I have not had to pull a TOAD as yet as i have stayed fairly local but if I was going far and needed a TOAD I would just pull my Duramax. It needs no modifications and I could not justify the extra expense of another vehicle, set up, license and insurance simply for a TOAD to use sporadically. But that is just my situation.

Tell us what you pull for a TOAD and why. It will be fun to learn different opinions and logic.

Gary,

I sure understand your reasoning about not buying a car exclusively for use as a Toad
I’ve pulled a 2000 Jeep Cherokee toad for the last 13 years and with the last 3 coaches I owned. When not behind the bus, it just sits in the garage along with the bus. My son blew the engine in his old Mustang so I gave him the Jeep. Now I don’t have a toad.

I’ve been thinking that I would like to find a vehicle I could use as my everyday driver and get away from a 3 car situation. Tela loves her new Chrysler 300 so I can’t get rid of that but I am thinking about trading my F150 Ford ecoboost for a 4x4 F150 FX so I can tow it 4 wheels down.
