Towable vehicles

We tow a 2011 Ford Fiesta Automatic 4 wheels down. So far no problems. Added a brake controller.

Most RV related publications put out a list from time to time (once a year) but if you go to Remco Towing (Just google: Remco Towing) you will find a web page where you can put in any recent make and model (Back to around 2000) and it will tell you what you need to do to tow..

It may say you need tow bars, lights, and brakes.. This is good
It may say you need lube pump or axle lock or drive shaft disconnect, this is 2000 worth of bad (roughly) but it does mean you can tow it, with modifications.

Or it may say No way can it be towed 4 down.

Page 2: with your gasser you can likely not tow more than around 4,000 pounds.

What do I tow..... A dodge neon, with lube pump. Tows heavy because I am turning transmission gears and it does a sloppy job of spoiling air flow.

What did I tow, A 4,000 pound Chevy Lumina APV with axle lock, towed light, so light in fact that the improvement (Spoiling) of air flow offset the additional load and the MPG-meter did not know if it was there or not.

Hard to beat a CRV for all around use and the owner's manual tells you how to tow it four down.

Our pt Cruiser 5 speed it tows great.

We tow a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. It tows great!

One that satisfies your everyday driving needs should be the first consideration among all the choices and we have a Wrangler JK series that satisfies all the towing criteria and is also ready for any kind of terrain from crawling to malls or off road exploration.

Love my Smart Car. I think you either love them for size and ease of towing or don't like because you want a bigger softer riding car. I drive it all the time and have other options. Takes two minutes to hookup.

We have a 2003 Safari Trek Model 2810 and limited to about 3,000 lbs. because of the chassis. We wanted something with good volume and versatility. We have a 2011 Chev HHR and it seems to work well for us. Some of the newer GM models are not towable, check towing guides by FMCA and Motorhome magazine.
