Toad Recommendations Appreciated

Chevy Tracker

I tow a 2003 VW Jetta standard, with Diesel engine. It has 330,000 miles and runs great - it is an everyday car to work and back. It works great, and whether gas or diesel, around that year should be relatively inexpensive.

I'm happy with the Honda CR-V we tow. It's been a perfectly reliable daily driver.

It depends on if you want to go off road. So do you want 2 wheel drive or a 4X4?

As long as you can drive a standard transmission, any standard transmission Subaru can be towed 4 down. No automatic transmission Subaru can be towed except on a trailer, not even a tow dolly.

The Subaru is easy.
1. release parking brake
2. put transmission in neutral
3. turn key 1 click to unlock steering

and GO! No fuses to pull, no pre or mid towing procedure to go through to lube transmission. No distance restriction. No speed restriction.

As a bonus, it is 4 wheel drive for those out of the way places you may want to visit.

I'm on my first Subaru, but all of my toads from now on will be Subarus.

Any year Honda Civic 5 Speed Standard Transmission, 4 down, tow bar available from Roadmaster. To date we have towed a 1990 Accord, a 2001 Civic and we are now on a 2007 Civic. In all cases the Honda Manual reads not to tow 4 down ("because we want to sell you a CRV instead.") :)

1997 GEO Tracker 4 W/D 60,000 miles and half of those were 4 wheel down. Great little unit.:D Dont even know it's back there. I tow it with a 2001 Jayco Eagle 28' V10. Good luck:)

Again if manual OK, Ford Focus. Light weight, tows 4 wheels down.
