use those sources to screen for a toad, but VERIFY yourself by reading the owner's manual. it is the only valid source. Do NOT buy something that needs conversion, tranny lube pump, drive shaft disconnect, etc. to tow it.

Sorry I disagree with you. We towed a Toyota Highlander 4 wheels down with a Remco lube pump for over 60,000 miles without incident. Maybe some people have had problems, but we never had any. We would not hesitate to do it again if necessary.
I still think it is foolish to buy a new vehicle intending to use it as a toad if it needs some type of modification. I had a drive shaft disconnect on my S-10, hated it. If you want to buy potential problems/issues, have at it.
