I need a toad.
I sold my 5th wheel a year ago and been pretty happy with the Class C towing a trailer with either my motorcycle(s) or my UTV. This coming spring the wife wants to go NE and we'll need a toad of some...

Chev Sonic except the sporty RS version can be flat towed. Sonic made a hatchback which offers storage space.
Other Chev’s are also towable , one is the Equinox. They advise to start and idle the vehicle for 5 mins every 200 mi or so to recirculate the tranny fluid.
I added a charge line from the rv to keep the toad battery charged. I did that mainly bc i drilled holes in my taillights and installed bulbs/sockets instead of buying a special harness for running lights. If i need extra side marker lighting at night or on rainy days , i just flip on the toad parking lights.
You also have to turn the key ‘on’ to free up the steering wheel lock. Make sure to turn the ignition to the first click not the second click, that way the odometer will not register mileage.
Only when i flat tow , the latest thing i did was carry a full size mounted spare inside the hatchback .
I recently shredded a tire on my toad while towing at 1 AM and only had a donut on board. I had too far a drive to get home and had to spend the night at the tow companies yard. A full spare could have been changed by me and i could have been on my way home .
As per one of our members suggested ,
Im also adding tire psi monitors on the toad bc i could not feel the tire go flat after hitting some potholes.
By the time i realized it, i was riding on the rim.
