finding what you want as a towed vehicle is a little more than asking what will fit the bill IMO. Yes I tow a 13 hyundai elantra manual trans behind our setup. under 3000 lbs has a good wide track and length for stability. Got it because when we bought the rv had to drive to prescott to pick it up. also we had to take a bunch of canning supplies to my sister and the elantra we rented did the trick plus got 30+mpg.
SO you will need to go and look for what will fit your wants and needs. could be honda a toyota, maybe a jeep of some sort, but it needs to fit you. There was an article in the newspapers on cars people would NOT buy again and most were the smaller cars that are out there manual everything with few creature comforts and not much power. The versa, the aspect the rio, etc type of vehicles and even new are only about 4K if that much less than a little bigger car like the elantra or other similar vehicles. It cost me around $900 to have the baseplates and wiring installed, another 40 for a spare tire (new cars dont come with one anymore it seems), jack etc. Still have the bottle of slime and elec pump that came with it, bu it was easy to get replacement doughnut tire for the car.
so take your time look around and find something that fits you and yours new or used as you will keep it for a long time probably even if you sell the rv.
