I don't know how others feel but I treat hooking up the toad as seriously as pre-flighting a plane. Even with a vehicle that requires no modifications hooking up a toad has many steps. We not only have to hook up chains or cables, the tow bar, the electric cord, release the brake (see signature), put the transmission / transfer case in the proper gear or position, make sure the key is in the right position, etc. we also usually have to deal with some type of braking unit. Adding an aftermarket modification generally adds at least one more step to the process, and if that step is omitted it typically has a cost of significant proportions.
Mark is right about his toad and the time it takes, and according to FMCA there are some toads that are even easier to ready for towin
