How big is your Toad ?

I have a TT, so I don't tow a Toad, but what the biggest Toad you've seen ?
Sitting at a local VI Sunday morning with wife, youngest son and his wife and sitting by a window that faces hwy. Watched a Winni drive by...couldn't say what model...single rear axle...but it was towing a 2017 F-350 Dually. Would that be a benny (benefit) if the Winni broke down ?...you could flip the vehicles around and tow the Winni with the dually ?
Once, I saw a coach 30'+ maybe, with a 15 to 20' enclosed utility (motorcycle) trailer attached...being transported on a 53' trailer to Sturgis in 2008. Ended up in same CG we were staying at. Palmer Gulch.

I've seen BIG 6 passanger pickups behind DPs. Yup, worst comes to worst, I bet it could easily tow the DP.

I tow a Saturn Vue, its fairly light (3,000 lbs), 4 cyl, 5 speed manual. In an emergency, I'd make an attempt to use the Vue to push the MH off the road. but this would be a very last resort.

Chevy Spark

Just traded in my Nissan Rogue for a manual Chevy Spark, all 2200+ pounds of it...but we have a 24' MBS Class C so were cautioned to keep the toad weight low. Haven't yet outfitted it with the tow bar--that's next.

I suspect the car will get dinged up by following the coach and getting hit by rock/road stuff so I consider the car a tool to be used and hopefully used well until it's time to trade it in

Toad

Pull a 2014 Honda CR-V on a tow dolly with Georgetown XL 377. If it wasn't for the backup camera wouldn't know it was back there!
