we do the same.
purchased a city car (Chevy Spark manual tranny) and that's our Toad
then I DIY'd the $400 Blue-Ox baseplate, and purchased a $200 simple Blue-Ox tow bar and use $20 Harbor Freight magnetic lights for towing.
since my Toad is only 2,200#, I did not add a special (and expensive) brake package

I really like my set-up
