The Ford Hybrids (Fusion & C-Max) are very reliable, and popular for flat towing. Both are available as plug-in hybrids, which doesn't add any price premium used, but does eat up cargo space. I think a plug-in would be nice as a toad, since you can quietly glide through campgrounds on all-electric.
at 88k miles, our 2014 Fusion Energi (plug in) is going in for it's third transmission (never used as a toad, it's my wife's commuter car). Other than the trans, it's been a great car! :B
All under warranty, but still. As a toad though, I'd have concern about the weight, the clearance (it is a low sitting car), and the complete lack of trunk space.
If I were buying a toad, it'd be an 07-11 CRV.
