I just jumped thru these hoops.
Fig a budget, list possible cars and then visit the Remco site to determine if they can be towed.

Most standard gears, not automatic tansmissions, can be towed, Jeeps and others.
I had good luck with 1990 Jeep Larado & 1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited in Ak.
I just bght a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with Quadra Trac II. Jeep QT II and Selec Trac II are 4WD full time, mostly, AND the transfer case can be disengaged from the front and rear differentials (pumpkins) and be in neutral for towing.
I considered Geo Tracker (cheap), Ford Edge, Fit and Ford Ranger.
If I see the Jeep is getting hammered via towing it, I will get another, and cheaper, vehicle as a Dinghy.
Hope this helps some.
