Help With Car to Tow
I have a class A, 2014 Fleetwood Storm, that can tow 5000 lbs and has a tongue weight of 500 lbs. I have a tow dolly and am currently pulling a 2001 Mazda MPV. However, my mechanic just told me things do not look good and that one of the valve/cylinders is registering no pressure and two other values are registering pressure below their specs. He said he cannot tell what the source of the problem is unless he essentially tears the engine apart (4 hour job). He told me it will likely be one of three things, but none of them being cheap. So, now that I'm looking at a repair bill on an older vehicle (but only has 120,000 mile on it) that could be in the $3-$4,000 range. I'm thinking about getting another vehicle. I'd like one that can be towed with all four wheels on the ground and avoid the tow dolly (if possible/wise). It would also need to carry 6 people. (At least 3 adults and the little ones are getting bigger by the moment). Can anyone suggest a web site that might give details on cars regarding if it can be towed with all four wheels on the ground or list any vehicles that they are aware of that would meet my family's needs?
