Best 2019 Models for Dinghy Towing

Is there a link to the 2019 towables yet?
are there any that we do NOT have to wire the towvehicle to the 12 volt in the motorhome, like having to disconnect the battery but still need 12 volts for the brakebuddy.
thanks all

  • Use the 2018 guides and find a vehicle that meets your needs. Then research the 2019 online or go read the manual at a dealer. And make sure that the base plate and aux brake are available for the 2019. Then do a lot of research for problems that aren't documented by the mfg but have since occurred. If the Brake Buddy power is a issue consider other aux brakes.

    I would not want any vehicle that requires disconnecting the battery. But what is your resistance to installing a charge line?

    anyone with a 2018 with auto ?

    Check out www.wranglerforum.com they have a whole section about the JL model.
  • Ford Fusion/MKZ PHEV & FHEV along with CMax PHEV & FHEV
  • The early production 2012's had some issues with the new Pentastar engine. The 2007-2011 were not speed demons, the minivan engine and transmission were solid but not fast. I've got a 2011, and it's just fine as I'm not in a rush in life.

    Get a Jeep Wrangler 4WD (automatic if you need that). No need for a lifeline from the mothership, No need to disconnect battery, No need to leave key in toad. Mine (2015 2DR Sahara) has a 12v plug in the console between the seats that is powered all the time. I know you asked about 2019, but I doubt it has changed. I opted for used (bought it in September) as it was in pristine condition, and way less expensive than new, but still pricey. Wranglers seem to hold value.

    thanks
    some jeeps have a terrible reliability record. which ones should i avoid?
