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.
And modifications do increase the chance of failure.
