From the manufacturers' engineering to allow it to be towed to the baseplates design engineer to the towbar's design engineer, to the add-on brake actuating system. If you didn't have these items all designed to tow the car then it would not be towable 4 down.
No not at all. The manufacturer of any TOAD did not manufacture it with the intent for it to be towed. They are manufactured to be motor vehicles and meet that definition. We the modify the motor vehicle to be able to be TOAD.

Read the definitions. They are pretty clear.

Show me any case anywhere in the US that someone was liable for not having trailer brakes on a TOAD.
