Don't Do This!!!!
Check that toad again before heading down the road, or you could end up like this unfortunate fellow... Here is the story that goes with the picture... Car front end damaged after dragged in ‘park’...

This is another reason why I'd rather pull than push (meaning I'd rather tow a trailer than tow a toad).
Ya, but when a trailer tire blows it will not grind down the wheel and half the suspension!
...Let it go long enough, being totally oblivious like this guy was, and it most certainly will. Or even worse, with a large trailer, could cause it to flip or jack-knife resulting in a much bigger disaster.
..Not to mention, with RV trailers you instead get to deal with ST tires frequently made in China (you know, CHINA BOMB tires) that can and will blow up ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, even when just a few years old. MH tires as well as the tires on any TOAD, don't have that problem, and will last for many years (provided you take care of them and don't do something crazy like this guy did, haha).
I'll take my MH with its heavy duty truck tires and toad with passenger (or LT) rated tires over ANY truck and RV trailer with ST China bomb tires, any day of the week and twice on Sunday. :)
