If things go right i may find myself needing a Toad this SPring.
So I'm looking at curb weight and capabilities of a lot of different vehicles.
If the car is a dedicated toad then the budget is under $3K If the TOAD fits into the family fleet as a daily driver then it could be more.
The big driver is weight- the sub 3000 lb cars out there are not something i want to drive every day (tracker, Sidekick, Honda Fit)
But something a bit more substantial like a Nissan Pathfinder or Exterra get up around 4000 lb.
I'd like some off road capability, maybe more than a subaru Outback.
So is there a big difference in towing 3000 lb (tracker) versus 4200 lb (Pathfinder) on mostly flat east coast roads?
And what other considerations have people made integrating the toad in to the family fleet?

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
