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.

Sure but why would the OP looking for a toad with many options available choose one that would require an additional $1000+ just to lube the tranny?

And modifications do increase the chance of failure.

OP did not specifically say he was looking to buy. Maybe he has something already and he is wondering if it can be towed. In our case we already had a Highlander that suited our needs perfectly with the exception of towing. We were able to rectify that with a lube pump and save the cost of buying another car. There was a big difference in cost between the lube pump and another vehicle. I agree with what you are saying if you are specifically looking to buy a towable vehicle.
