Some of you might be interested in a nice roomy toad. If you need lots of room to haul your stuff behind your bus, here is a nice toad.
We play Bluegrass Gospel and used to carry all our sound equipment and instruments in our Toyota Tacoma pickup. It was always a hassle to get everything in and out. And, we could never solve the problem of water and dust leakage in the camper shell.
Playing the upright bass requires a lot of room along with the guitar and sound equipment. We started looking at vehicles that would hold everything and could be easily towed without modifications or add-on equipment. Well, the Ford Taurus X, a cross-over fit the bill perfectly! It has a nice V-6, a six speed auto transmission and consistently gets 20-21 MPG. Just put it in neutral, the key in "accessory" position and tow four wheels down!
Ours is a 2008 we bought used and have since towed her about 10,000 miles. We like it and it is a nice comfortable car.
