Anyone towing a vehicle with 3rd row? Traveling with 6 so I need a small 3rd row. What 3rd row have you been happy with towing? What's too big for comfort?

That question is also dependent on what you are towing the toad with. A big DP get a Suburban, a gasser, you may get by with a minivan and a tow dolly. MORE info please.

I tow a 2009 Saturn Outlook with the 3rd row seating - which is very seldom used - the 3rd row is down to make more storage space most of the time. But even with the 3rd row up for seating, there is still space for groceries and personal 'stuff'.So Easy to setup and tow (4 down) - attach towbar & lights, pull one under-hood fuse, put in neutral, ignition key on Aux - that's it and you are away!!!AND it is a GREAT daily driver as well!!

HERE is his other post which gives a little more info.

Ford Flex. Second and third row seats all fold out of way for more cargo carry also.

Thank you lanerd for pointing out his other post.Being it is a gasser you are limited to 5000 pounds. Towing 4 down is usually 4WD territory, using a tow dolly broadens what you can tow. We have pulled our Sedona to MT and back and various short trips around home on a Master Tow Dolly. Our gasser pulls it just fine and it sits 6 comfortably and 7 in a cramped 3rd seat. We are going to sometime get a 4WD pickup to flat tow and for use around the property. But we will hang on to the tow dolly for those times we need to sit more than the 2 of us so we can still pull the minivan.We push the 5000 pound window with the van and tow dolly, but it has not proven to be a problem and I do frequent checks of the MH chassis and receiver hitch for signs of a problem.Anyway, all that said, watch your tow vehicle weight and you can pull most anything in the midsize area like a minivan, ford flex, dodge durango, etc.
