There are two concerns about toads.

First, will towing four down hurt anything? In some vehicles the rotating parts are not sufficiently lubricated so towing without some provision to curculate fluids is a bad thing. The problem is we don't know which ones that are not listed in the FMCA magazine will get harmed. Some are not listed because the manufacturers just don't wan't the potential liability exposure.

Second concerns relate to "key on" battery drain. That's easily solved. Just add a battery disconnect, or a wire to maintain the battery charge. Either way the battery is not affected by towing.

I have travelled with Roger when he is towing the mini. Every few hours he stops and runs the engine to circulate fluids through the transmission. I have not known his mini to have a dead battery.
