looking for a light weight toad
I have a 2012, 23 foot, gas, ford chassis, class c, chateau by thor rv. I am looking for the lightest weight car to tow. Does anyone know my options?

The lightest weight toad will likely end up having poor resale, poor ride, and poor safety. There are a lot of good cars (resale, ride, and safety) that weigh between 2500-3000 lbs. Your MH hardly know that a 2500-3000 lb toad is back there, but you will be glad when you are actually driving the toad around.
I tow a 5000 lb toad (I had it and it was towable when I bought the MH). I once made the climb up the east bound 10,000+ ft. Wolf Creek(?) pass 2 consecutive days (long story). The 2nd time, I unhooked the toad and had the DW follow me. I still ended up in 1st gear at times. If I ever climb that grade again, I won't be unhooking.
