Yes. size is not a thing but weight is. Many toads are small because of the weight factor, I don't want to pull anything over 4K. The more the toad weighs, the more the coach has to pull, and stop. Toad brakes help a lot, but it will still push you. Don't notice it too much in flat country, but when you hit a long steep pull, it can really make a difference. Many RVs are close to the weight limit for their motors anyway, so the added weight can put it close to the limit. Try driving I-40 from Memphis to the coast, and if the climb to Crossville, TN doesn't get you, then Black Mountain might. Another one is I-26 from Ashville to Bristol. Not too steep, but a long straight pull.
