Toad Suggestions

The various Jeep products are easy to set up and drive away but many will poke thru your 4000 lbs weight limit. The Honda CR-V was popular for the size, weight, reliability and cost but once Honda changed to a CVT type transmission the choice was lost.

Probably you best place to start is Remco Towing Guide. Pick a make, model and year of a vehicle you might have your eye on and see what comes out of the database. You'll need to dig a bit deeper for weight numbers.

He is looking for an older one.

FMCA has a complete listing of all towables and nontowables. Larry, 2014 Reyo P

All of the Chevrolet HHR's can be flat towed with automatic transmission. No modifications needed.

X2. Great toad and half the price of a Jeep or CR-V of the same year.

We had very good luck with a 2010 Chev Malibu, an just moved to a 2015, although do not have it set up yet. We towed it over 50k and drove it another 108k and it never seen the inside of a repair shop. Hope this might help, Happy trails Bert

As previously noted, Jeeps. I am still two years,three months, 10 days and about 18 hours from that kind of life, but have still researched, not that I am in a hurry or anything but, if you are driving a big Class A, you are already limited to parking lots for camping. A 2WD is going to severely limit where you can go when you get there. I can't imagine going to CO, MT, UT, WA,OR etc. and NOT being able to go into the mountains. 4WD will expand your horizons beyond the tourist traps. I live in MT now and my 4WD pickup set up for light off-roading is so much fun. I think of like Moab UT and if you don't have 4WD, you will miss about 70% of the potential fun you can have over a week or so. There are a lot of places like that in Colorado also and most mountain states.

Go look up Moonflower Road in Moab and take it beyond the pavement or any number of places along 70 in Colorado or the four corners area or even the frontage road along I-15 in between Butte and Helena MT or the road from I-15 from Bernice MT over to I-90 or Tizer lakes in the Elkhorns south of Helena MT and on and on and on...

The Honda CRV must be a 2014 or OLDER! The 2015's and up are not towable,because they have the new CVT transmission.
