Toad 4 down or car on trailer? Need advice
I am lurking at taking a toad on my next trip, I have a scooter but it is not allways the best way to go around. I am looking at a Suzuki X90 automatique and from what I have read I can pull it 4 down...

We have been towing 4 down in 3 coaches with three different tow'ds for well over 150,000 miles. We have had to disconnect the tow'd a few times when I got too aggressive and found myself in a position requiring a k turn to exit. Please note DW has NEVER got us into that position when she is at the wheel.
As for tracking, with our gasser which had a long rear overhang, you could see the tow'd steer wheels turning counter to the steer wheels of the coach in a really tight turn. For example in a full lock right turn the tow'd would first go LEFT and then turn right to follow the coach. The front of the tow'd thus stays in the track of the back end of the coach not the rear tires. On the DP the overhang is less and the swing is thus much less.
