Flat Towing

We bought ours with running around the vicinity of the campground we are in. Mileage isn't a concern. Now taking it out into the desert in Lake Havasu might be an option. Check out u-tube for Geo Tracker/Suzuki Sidekick.

A quick look on craigslist produced a few. I'll keep them in mind! The better one's are about an hour away. I'm surprised the gas mileage isn't better.

Find an old Geo Tracker at 2400 lbs with auto transmission and 4X4. Has sun roof that easily folds back.

I can solve your problem. Move to Tennessee! Our next door neighbor is selling her house (3 bedroom on 1.3 acres) for about $140k. I used to have an F350, 30' 5er, and a 16' bassboat going down the interstate. Looked like I was moving.

Just my $.02 - we tow a 2005 PT Cruiser convertible, but it has a manual. It is a lot for me (56 y/o) to get out of and I'm tiring of driving a manual every day. It gets great MPG's if I'm driving it. But its really a crappy car. I wish I would have ponied up for a Civic automatic with a sunroof.

I have been very happy with my PT Cruiser Turbo convertible.

As for the Smarts towing kayaks on a trailer, when towing the Smart behind a motorhome that would be a double tow, illegal in most of the Eastern states.

Agreed. Only viable if when not being used as a Toad.

Here is how we solved our Kayak problem. The timeout trailer also doubles as our accomodation on overnighters.

Well kinda sort of. These are automated manuals meaning you don't have a clutch pedal and the computer does all the shifting but technically they are standards. 1850 pounds and way fun.

fixed it
