If you want 4 down, you have to stay away from most Front wheel drive cars.
Definitely not true. There are many FWD cars that are 4-down towable. Many FWD with standard shift can be and there are plenty of auto trans FWD that are capable especially from GM and Ford.
Your View probably only has a 5000 lbs tow limit (maybe only 3500 lbs) so you need to keep that in mind.
Jeeps are by far the most popular but even some of those can't be 4-down towable. Of the FWD vehicles, Honda CRV is #1 with a bunch of others from GM and Ford. Most import cars, with auto trans, are not 4-down towable including all of Toyotas.
However, you can put a lube pump on your RAV4 and make it towable, but if your car is still under warranty, this will probably void it.
Do a search on "toads" and have fun reading.
Good luck
