I hooked up the Toyota Rav4 this P.M. and with the DW following me in our Blazer as a chase car I took the new Toad for a shakedown. Everything performeed flawlessly and I am very satisfied with the ease of towing. I do believe that the Rav is a winner for a tow vehicle. The magnetic lites on the roof provide excellent viisibility to the cars behind me. I am going to have to come up with a sign stating "Vehicle in Tow" as I hear some states are beginning to enforce this law. The specs on this vehicle are 2000 Toyota Rav4 2WD, Manual Transmission. Towing procedure is to put in neutral, key in Accesory and emergency brake off and away yougo, and it does not record miles towed on the odometer. However it is not a Babe magnet as my Tracker was LOL

We have towed our CR-V in most states and not only do we not have an "in tow" sign, we very seldom see one. What state requires it?
