C Class TOAD vehicle?

What do you use as a TOAD? Have a Ford e450 v10 and looking for any easy vehicle to hook up that will NOT strain engine, trans, axle, etc..

  • I tow a 2015 Cadillac SRX FWD that tows like a dream. We figured we would maybe tow a max per year of a couple thouseand miles and instead of having some small car/vehicle for the rest of the time to bounce around town in might as well hvae something nice. Installed a SMI braking system and light system so the SUV looks totally stock and uses the factory tail lights. We really enjoy the car and how it tows behind the Ford V-10.
  • We tow a 6-speed Mini Cooper Countryman with our 26 foot class C.
  • Our toad is a 2014 Ford Focus, weighs a little under 3000, we tow it on a dolly, but it is towable 4 down, the reason we use the dolly, is because we already had the dolly from our previous toad, a 2005 Kia Spectra which isn't towable 4 down.
  • Our Toad is a 2010 Ford Flex. Weight is 4200#'s. Have been in the west coast mountains. No problem towing.
  • We love our 2014 Smart Car easy hook up and do not even know it is behind our Sprinter.

  • Honda CRV or Element. Suzuki and the Suzuki made Tracker are popular but parts are getting harder to get according to the mechanics I have talked to.
  • Find one that weighs around 3,000 lbs or less.

    Go any heavier and yes your RV manual may say it can tow more weight but YOU and your RV won't be a real happy camper pulling it around up and down any grades or hills.


    The Chevy Tracker usually fits that bill. And is a popular toad. The 4 door 4x4 seats 5 comfortably and with seats folded down provides a lot of storage space. So is the jeep but it is not conducive for a family to ride comfortably in and lacks storage space. It depends on what your needs for the toad is.
