You can tow 'anything' on a straight flat road behind a MH that is within the 'rated' capabilities. Which those figures are based on towing flat and stopping not considered. The I don't know it's even back there usually is spoken of towing on a flat highway.
Most of the seasoned RV'ers know that it DOES make a difference when you have to pull it UP anything!
Henceforth why most of us look for the lightest car to tow. IMHO my toad is not to impress anyone, it is for functionality. Lightweight so when I am having to pull it up inclines it does not put added strain on my coach engine and I can actually get up there doing the speed limit.
I see a lot of big MH's with heavy toads struggling up even the smallest of grades as I blast past them with my little Tracker.
It's not so much that size matters, it's weight matters!
