C Class TOAD vehicle?

Had our Wrangler in the enclosed trailer last time. This trip we have our AutoMoto scooter in tow

Behind our Sprinter, we towed a Ford C-Max Hybrid, it was over the rating, (3,500 lbs) at about 4,200 lbs. but was no problem for the Benz diesel and tranny!

Be aware that the Rav4 is a front wheel drive unit and may not be towable four down, but could be towed on a dolly.

All, Thanks for responding. Glad to see many options are out there.

Did not see if anyone had any luck with Toyota Rav4??

With all the advice being given, since you want an automatic, your choices will be limited for vehicles that can be towed 4-down. It is a must that you check the owner's manual to ensure the vehicle you choose can be towed 4-down. We have a 2012 Ford Focus automatic.

I have towed a 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid, a 2012 Ford Focus and currently tow a 2012 Ford Fusion hybrid behind my Class C motorhome. All towed well!

Another good choice for a toad is the Ford C Max. This vehicle is a hybrid, which, like all Ford hybrids does not require any battery cable disconnects or fuses to be removed before towing.

Thanks for the question, and all the great answers. If I could piggy back on this... I'd like to fit three kids, drive an automatic, and do some for wheeling when we add a toad. Other than a CRV, any other recommendations that are easy on the easiest? Let's say under 25k. Thanked much.

Used 4x4 4 door 'Chevy' Tracker. Emphasis on the 'chevy' part. They went thru a ton of ownership changes with this model from suzuki, GEO,side kick.

My Chevy Tracker was the best! I bought it used because I wasn't sure about towing a toad. Thought I'd test the waters. Well she followed me everywhere when I went full time. Seats 5 and with the seats down tons of storage and real lightweight. Had to use the 4x4 a couple of times glad I had it. IMHO the perfect little toad.

Too bad you didn't post earlier I just sold her for more than what I paid for her includkng the cost of setting it up to tow! :W

Jeep Cherokee or Liberty

Tend to be this size in Australia and generally towed on a trailer
