I trailer my toad because we usually take an ATV along. It isn't difficult to secure the toad since I went to the straps over the tires and added some loops to make it more convenient. I use the harnesses on all 4 tires and very seldom do they need to be retightened. There is going to be extra weight but you can always back up when you might have to. Just do your homework on where you are going to stay and trailer isn't a problem. On another note we just bought a Honda CRV and are going to install a base plate on it so we will also have that option.:)
