Another consideration is the toad's braking system. With a load as heavy as a car, you should have an auxiliary system to activates the toad's brakes when the tow vehicle brakes - most flat-towed vehicles operate this way. Most auxiliary braking systems are designed to operate the toad's brakes with the engine off (so no power assist). If you leave the engine running, the pressure applied to the brakes will be way too much, and you'll be constantly locking up the brakes on the toad.
