I can't help but think that towing a vehicle 4-down would limit your backing to maybe a couple of feet at most.
But almost nobody seems to want to mention that.
I've never had to back up in 4 years. Planning is the key. The tow bars aren't designed to push, and the front wheels on the toad will probably go south as you said. Some have had limited success. Nothing I'd ever try.
That one Time if I ever had to back up it would take a very short time to just disconnect vs damaging stuff. Plan your moves ahead.
You can't really back up with a dolly either, so...
As stated, plan your moves ahead like gas stations and such. Worst case it takes you a few minutes to unhook. Trying to unload from a dolly which requires 2x as much space and time to roll off it could be problematic in a tight space like a gas station. That said, I've never had to unhook with either method. You car will track almost exactly with the MH.
