flat tow vehicles

suggestions for vehicles (preferably 4 door and not too expensive) that can be flat towed behind class c?
  • Chevy Sonic with automatic transmission. LIke HHR, pull a fuse (or put on a switch) and go.
  • X2 Chevy HHR. When I towed mine I put a switch on the fuse that needed pulled.
    Weight was around 3,300 lb. With automatic transmission.
  • We went the opposite direction and tow a Cadillac SRX, love the comfort when we use it.
  • Tow a dodge dart. Leave in neutral......nothing else needed.
  • We tow a Ford Edge, but you need to make sure you get the proper transmission. Requires a battery disconnect, but we installed one from Roadmaster that disconnects the battery as soon as the umbilical is connected.
  • Older Subarus, manual transmission, are a good car to tow but the last couple of years, Subaru has stated they are now not towable. I have towed a 2006 Subaru since it was new and still do. I don't know what I would choose to tow now.

    You can add nearly every small sedan that has a manual transmission. Check Motorhome Magazine Annual Towing Guide then verify in Owner's Manual to be sure. We tow a Corolla with manual five-speed. Good reliable car, besides.
  • Chevy HHR. Automatic. Pull a fuse and go. (Used, of course, no longer made.)
  • Used Honda CRVs are popular to tow. I have an 03 CRV that weighs about 3500 lbs. Depends what your total weight and towing limit is.
