Can you back up with a toad 4 down

From all the post, it seem mostly not doable, too much risk either to the toad or to the poor driver sitting in the toad.

I also read somwhere that even a dooly is pretty hard to back up. I do not have a toad yet, I bring my scooter on a platform. I do not like the idea of not being able to back up. Of course, you can allways disconnect, how much of trouble is it? Any advice on the type of hook up?
