Looking for New Toad

(1/3) > >>

Andy Clark:
Can any of you experts direct me to a website (or similar) wherein I can search for a new toad? I'd like one already set up with a tow bar if possible. Or even just the brackets. We currently tow a '96 Suzuki Sidekick, which is very satisfactory, except it's beginning to get a bit "long in the tooth" and so we'd like something newer.
I'm thinking of a Suzuki Vitara, Honda CRV, Saturn Vue, or something about that size and weight.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Thanks
Andy

Andy,
If you go to the blue ox website and look under their resources tab the have the current "Dinghy Towing Guide" published listing all of the current towable vehicles. They are also using a photo of my coach and the Smart car that we tow. Guess we should ask for royalties or at least a BAC club sponsorship???
We also tow a Subaru Forester with a manual transmission. Here is the Blue Ox link:

Andy,

I would recommend a Jeep Liberty 4x4.  It is a very good toad.  Lots of them used for sale.  Great value for the money...

We have towed ours but yes, they are pretty nice and if you were lucky enough to find a diesel, even better.

We currently have an 02 Liberty (4x4) and love it. Bought it with 136K on it and pushing 150 engine miles now with no major problems. The Blue Ox baseplate is not hard to install yourself. Only issues I've had with the car is that the rear side windows are attached to the motor drive with plastic strap that goes bad after about 7 years and the window drops. Overall, highly recommend though.
