To toad or not to toad?
That is the question? The Small CRV will have a minimal effect on the mpg. The issue of needing to unhook the toad at the wrong time and wrong place is the real drawback.
Here is what put it over the top with me: Once upon a time I was deep in Indian territory, not a house or teepee within miles and I broke down. The cell phone worked and the Detroit Diesel person and I along with Jon ascertained the problem. A relacement sensor was required - fortunately I located one some 40 miles away in Flagstaff Az. They had no delivery or service trucks. They would be glad to perform the repairs if I would bring it in. That is were the gig comes in. I couldn't move the bus. Fortunately I had a tow vehicle that I hopped into and in about hour I had the replacement part in hand and was on my way to fix my own bus again and I didn't charge 100 lewbucks an hour.
I also didn't have two small children with me. If I were in your shoes I would like the peace of mind of having a toad vehicle in case I or the family needed it.
