The ToadMobile
Our tow vehicle is a 2011 V6 3.5L Toyota Sienna, known as the Toadmobile, which was prepared for towing by Can Am RV of London Ont.
Modifications for towing include a strengthened hitch receiver, a brake controller, a transmission oil cooler and clip on McKesh door mirrors.
Despite what received wisdom might tell you, the front wheel drive Sienna is an excellent tow vehicle as it has a wide and relatively low stance, good rear overhang to wheelbase ratio and excellent power delivery with the Toyota's six-speed automatic transmission. It may drop a bit of speed on the hills but the time lost is more than made up by not having to stop for gas so often!
