Me too Mr. Mark! Have towed a Honda Accord 2002 and a Honda Fit 2007 and both are great as cars, and Toads too! May have to get either something manual or look at some of the other makes when it comes time for a new Toad. Daily driver is a Ford Fusion 2010 (towable) and like it, just like towing smaller cars.

When the time comes for us to change toads, we'll have to see what is available. If Remco makes a lube pump for the new Honda transmissions, it might still be in the running in a couple of years.

I, too, like towing a lighter type toad.
