SLIGHTLY off topic as I'm asking more about T(oad)Vs rather than T(ow)Vs. BUT, this is the motorhead sub-forum - engines and drive trains and MPGs and all that fun stuff. What do "we" think abou...

As far as pushing the MH...there's a reason for the saying...don't put the cart before the horse. Especially given the tiny percentage of cars to be sold that would utilize this feature, it's just not worth the trouble.
I don't think the toad would ever be expected to supply all the power needed to move the MH. But do you ever see a tug boat pulling a string of barges? And in some parts of the country a long coal train will have a engine at the end of train pushing, and sometimes another with cars in front and behind.
And you are right about the small percentage of cars sold. But as more people start to use E-cars for daily transportation and also want to use their car for toad, then somebody might want to test the ability to tow one 4 down. Once it is a toad, the rest of the changes would be a piece of chicken.

I replaced two power supplies and one motherboard this week, yep keep believing in technology.
Yes. And one of my fears is the issues I have when Microsoft decides my computer needs to be updated. I can just imagine getting in my Tesla some morning and discover the light switch now honks the horn.
A few years back one of my brother's regular customers talked brother into doing some work on his restored '69 Cadillac convertible. Within days brother asked me to come help, "This hamn thing has to many FREDS!" (Just before drafted I studied Olds at a GM training center. Brother sells parts for, and works on '36-'54 Chevy). Where do we draw the line?
