What's Your Toad

Not trying to start a pro/con of 4 down or dolly but I do dolly on an Acme a 2013 Mini Cooper. Love it as light and easy tow. Just curious out there what everyone is towing, just one of those "curious" things. Realize there are a million Jeep Wranglers out there.
Thanks.

I tow a jeep Rubicon 4 door. Blue ox tow bar and brake system. Easy on and off. The weight slows my 2015 Greyhawk 31DS down a lot on the hills but so does anything you tow.

2013 Ford Focus ST (6-speed manual) or 2014 Ford Explorer Sport (AWD 6-speed automatic 3.5L EcoBoost); which toad we take depends on our passenger count.

I used to tow a Suzuki Samurai, highly modified.
Now I tow a Jeep LJ Rubicon Sahara.
Both are super easy to flat tow.

The toad is trip and camping dependent currently we have 3 vehicles we tow regularly. The Jeep CJ 5, is the fun vehicle for rustic camping, the chevy HD 3500 DRW 4x4 is when we go to work, or times the Jeep is not the best choice then for the times we are City exploring we tow the Cadillac XT 5 on a dolly. Try to use the best tool for what we expect to do.

Could you also include some info on what type transmission you have and any special things that had to added in order to tow 4 down?

I'm making lists.
