Equinox being towed

Has anyone on the site towed or are towing a Chevy Equinox. If you have what is your best honest evaluation of it and What do you tow the car with (gas/Diesel motorhome). Thank you for your comments. Mac
  • I also have a 2012 Equinox. It is a dandy dinghy. Gas F53 tows it easily. I weighed it on commercial scales 4100 lbs. That is with 350 lbs of people and a half a tank of gas. Tows in neutral with a fuse pulled (I put in a switch) and the key open 1 notch to unlock steering. Demco base plate with RVI2 braking.
  • I've been towing our Equinox for over 1 year behind our gasser. It's easier to tow than my Honda CRV was. Please note that the 2018 models cannot be towed.
  • Just make sure you follow the directions in the owners manual as to how long you should go before restarting it and shifting gears. I was all prepared to tow my GMC Terain ( same as Eqinox ) behind my 36' diesel pusher but decided it was too new and nice to tow. I since bought a used Honda CRV to tow instead. I have seen many Eqinox vehicles being towed in my travels.
