On this same subject, does anyone have any knowledge or insight regarding
using a Subaru as a TOAD.

It is good on the weight scale, but it has all-time 4WD. Would this present
a problem and/or necessitate considerable modification?

I have an older Subaru which has been indestructible, and often though of
getting a newer model to tow. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tony B.

Tony,

Have a look at:

http://motorhome.tl.com/tech/98dinghy/98dinghy_tow.html

The list is a couple years old, but it will give you an idea of what
vehicles can be towed dinghy style and any limitations.
