Opinions on Suzuki Samurai or equivalent for a toad?
Would a Suzuki Samurai or similar vehicle be a useful toad? Is the wheelbase too short for 4 down? Should it have a long tow bar? What are good alternatives for a toad?

Depends on if you want or need 4x capability? Either of these are quite PRICEY if you can find a good one. Most I have seen were in the $2500+ bracket and all needed $$ to repair. Guy had one wanted $3K for it, the AC was gone, the seats all needed upholstering, tires etc. Plus high mileage!
We bought a Hyundai Elantra and it tows very well. Has a good wide track for stability and is long enough to not be impacted by rough roads. The samurai and GV are generally narrow track, particularly the sami, thats why they quit making them too many roll overs at speed particularly off road. Spoke with a guy and he said that he lost his going too fast with it in tow dont know if true or not but that was his explanation of what happened>
