Toad recommendation?

Thinking about a quad motorcycle type vehicle. Any recommendations that can be hauled without a trailer?
  • I have to wonder if that would be a wise idea or not. Something that isn't designed for road use could be rather problematic to tow on the highway. Alignment for off-road use is nothing like on road use. The tires also aren't made the same way so long highway runs could just eat the tires.

    Perhaps you could consider something that is built on a car chassis, but could offer the same sort of end result. A Mini Moke is a real car even though it's not much bigger than two seat quad. Since it's a production car you can also plate it anywhere, and drive it on any road. They are a little hard to find but may give you better results in the long run.

  • just heard a listing of the most unreliable vehicles. Mini was at the bottom, next Dodge, then Land Rover.
