Top 10 Most Popular Tow Vehicles (Toads)

Here is a list of the ten most popular Toads on the road for the 12-month term, according to Roadmaster, leading up to April 2025. Roadmaster is one of the country's largest producers of tow bars and tow equipment, and all of their products are manufactured and assembled in Vancouver, Washington. 

They can determine how many of each vehicle model are used as Toads, based on the number of specific baseplates they sell each year. Each vehicle takes a specific baseplate, based on each vehicles’ design, so by tracking the number of baseplates sold for each vehicle each year, they can easily determine the most popular Toads on the road today using their tow systems.  

They stock all of these baseplates as well as all of their tow bars and other accessories and they can generally ship them out in just a couple of days.

This list was compiled based on sales from the past 12 months of sales data but generally does not change much from year to year. 

If you are in the market for a new Toad, this should provide you with some ideas of what vehicles you may want to consider. These are listed in order of popularity.

  1. Jeep Wrangler '96-'25
  2. Ford Maverick '22-'25
  3. Jeep Gladiator '22-'25
  4. Ford F-150 pickup '14-'25
  5. Ford Bronco '21-'25
  6. Jeep Grand Cherokee '11-'22
  7. Chevrolet Equinox '18-'24
  8. Honda CRV '97-'14
  9. Ford Ranger pickup '93-'25 ('24 is NOT towable)
  10. Ram 1500 pickup '09-'25

Since July 2012, Gary Hatt has been the Publisher of BCM. Gary does most of his own work on his bus with the help of mechanic friends. He has owned tents, truck campers, travel trailers, and stick-n-staple motor-homes until he bought his first bus in 1997 which was a 1972 MCI MC-7 Combo. When he had a chance to buy a 1983 MCI MC-9 Log Cabin bus with larger windows he jumped at the chance. On Thanksgiving of 2014, Gary bought a 1967 Model 08 Eagle and has since been living and traveling full time in that.
