Forgive me if this has been answered. We just bought a new 24 foot Solera diesel . What do you suggest we purchase as a toad? We have had several trailers but this is our first motorhome. Thanks for helping me out ..

Find the lightest weight car you can find.

When I went shopping for my first toad I looked at EVERYTHING. I was pretty shocked how much even the smallest compact car weighed. I couldn't find anything under 4,000 lbs.

I lucked out and found a used Chevy Tracker 4x4, 4dr. weighs in around 2,800 lbs. Just by shear luck I found the most desirable little toad. I get offers on her at just about every CG I stop at.

2 Important Tips I'll share from 'my' first experience:

1. Do NOT believe ANY salesman when they say YES this car can be towed "4 down". Buy your toad based on what the 'owners manual' says about towing 4 down and nothing else.

2. Do not believe ANY salesman that tells you yes this car is lightweight enough for you to tow. Look at the weight on the door yourself.

All the car salesmen I ran into lied about everything regarding 4 down towing. Thank God and for this forum that I learned that every owners manual has all the info you need about whether a particular car can be towed 4 down or not.

Long story short.....keep the toad lightweight you won't regret it and your RV will love you for it!
