I flat tow my 2012 Ford F-150 4x4 everywhere and love it. Now that the Honda CRV is no longer towable, I'd say the Ford F-150 is the best choice for towing.
It's got plenty of room and a big bed in back for bringing the bikes and maybe a golf cart (don't have one yet). We've even gone off road in it on two separate and occasions and tested it's off-road capabilities. Once in Joshua Tree National Park and another time in NM. The only downside is the weight. Mine weighs 6,200 pounds empty but as someone mentioned, the new ones are made of aluminum and have lost 600 - 750 pounds. The truck is so heavy that it affects my on-ramp acceleration time and I can not get up to highway speeds when I'm towing before reaching the end of the on-ramp.
