On the flip side of using lists of cars. This is how I arrived at what type of car to buy to use as a Toad for the MH.
Find what type of car you like. One that can also be utilized in your family when not being towed by the RV. How many it can seat and cargo area and that the car weighs 'under' the weight your MH is rated to tow.
Look in the 'manufactures' 'Owners Manual'. Under the section recreational towing it will state whether the car can be towed 4 down or needs a dolly.
And, if you are buying the car from a dealer NEVER EVER listen to the salesman that says "Sure this car can be towed 4-down". Always check the owners manual. And if the manual is not in the glovebox make the salesman get it for you. :W
I ended up with a Chevy Tracker 4dr, 4x4. Seats 5 and still has cargo area and when back seats folded down had a huge cargo area.
