towed vehicle choce

I tow a TJ 4 down. I even towed it behind our 5th wheel. Does great, but I would rather tow our Expedition if I could. I don't see where that is going to happen.

I own a 2014 CRV it's also a toad and daily driver and the last year of the CRV being towed all 4 down. No problems so far at 40,000 miles!

I love my CRV. It's my daily driver and my toad.

We have a 2015 Equinox and to us, it's a luxury car. The finish is beautiful in and out. It is extremely roomy with lots of leg room for front and rear passengers and has a lot of rear storage space. We're very happy with it.

If you want to do any fun exploring the backroads we absolutely had a ball with our Jeep Liberty.

Honda CRV, 2014 or earlier. We are on CRV #2, great tow vehicles.

I have always towed a Jeep TJ because its so easy to hook-up and go. 2 weeks ago, I put a bracket on the wife's Traverse and towed it 300 miles. Found out it pulls just as good even though its 1000 lbs. heavier and no change in mileage. Still very easy to hook-up The Equinox is a bit smaller than the Traverse so my guess would be, its a great vehicle to drag around.

Do you want auto or standard? Do you want room to put stuff or just something light? Your "best" might not be someone else's "best". Best for me was something that I could tow without doing anything but hitch up. We traveled three days once and I never looked at the towed and then on the fourth day I unhooked and started it. No fuse no run every four hrs, nothing, and no limit to the speed.

Ours is the GMC Terrain which, except for the body style, is identical. We bought it new in 2010 and now have about 90K miles on it with about 20k being towed. Absolutely probably free in these past six years. Car still looks brand new and I have only change the tires and battery. Typically, I get overall mileage of about 25 with 33 - 35 on the highway (4 cyl of course), and with 185hp has sufficient power to climb steepest hills or pass others at will.

Ours is the top of the line (when it was new) and has all the bells and whistles. New ones have all the new electronic safety features that you will find on our 2015 Lexus.

Great little care with plenty of room inside, very comfortable and quiet.

I would assume the Equinox would be the same and get the same results.

Highly recommend.

As you can see, we tow a '13 CRV. Previously, an '07 CRV. Can't beat'm, they tow well and you can carry a lot of stuff, and, they only weigh about 3,400 lbs.

I'm thinking of changing tow vehicles when the 2017's come out. My sister wants my '13 Honda and I would like something that matches the motorhome better colorwise (certainly not an emergency, LOL).

I was thinking of the Jeep Cherokee as it's about the same weight as the Honda. Or, I might move up to the Lincoln MKX which is about 4,200 lbs. We can tow 20,000 lbs. but I wouldn't.

So, you can't beat a Honda CRV, I wish they were still towable as I would get another.
