Towing... what is the cost????
I read about some disadvantage with towing but they don't really go into the cost of this disadvantage. So what disadvantage I would like to know is the fuel consumption lost. Either gas or diesel....

Our first toad cost us about $2,000 to equip it with a Remco transmission pump and light hookup, Blue Ox base plate, and ReadyBrute Elite combination tow bar and brake system. I supplied all of the labor. Our second toad cost about $350, since everything but the base plate was transferred to it, again with my labor. Given the number of miles we've towed, and the number of places we've been where the toad was invaluable for sightseeing, shopping, etc., I'm sure we would have spent much more than that in rental fees. Our mileage penalty at worst amounts to about 0.25 MPG. And well worth it to us...
