you'll not be able to 'stop' the toad steering wheel from turning by hand, there is too much force from the backing of the tow vehicle.... but, it's certainly NOT impossible to simply back with your toad, you just have to be careful since the narrow distance between your vehicle and the toad can 'easily' create a jack-knife situation... but, it's not only about the jack-knife, but also the ability for the vehicle to 'push' the toad wheels while they are at an angle, meaning that the toad tires might be 'dragged' if you are not careful.

but, yes, you CAN back with your toad, you just have to be careful and make it a short distance. It does happen to most of us infrequently at fuel stations, or tight situations. I've backed in some situations, where it was clear and no obstructions or other traffic, and I've safely unhooked and moved the toad when the situation demanded.
