lightest toad car
Hi, I'm considering getting a toad. What is the smallest toad that can be used "four down"? I do not need more than a two passenger vehicle. I am not interested in a motor bike.

Does anyone tow the toyota Yaris??? we looked at this but the Toyota sales rep and his service manager said no toyota can be towed 4 down or on a tow dolly. they need to be on a full trailer. I didn't bother to follow up at another dealership... does anyone tow a Yaris?
That's strange info. Most manual transmission front drive Toyotas are OK for four-down, and front-drive should go on a dolly OK whether manual or automatic. What gets you into trouble on a dolly is an AWD system, or problems with ground clearance, which should not be a problem for a Yaris or Echo, which have very little front or rear overhang.
