We received a new to us 2001 American Coach Tradition and currently tow our 2013 Ford Fiesta (Standard shift). It has worked wonderfully for us. I installed a Roadmaster base plate (not that hard, but time) and it attaches to the roadmaster setup already on the rv. For tow lights, went with separate wires and bulbs to existing taillights. Plenty of room, no worries of electrical issues, and one time set-up and that is that. For our Fiesta, no lock on steering wheel, so place gear shift into neutral, close the vents, and lock the doors is all there is to it. To be honest, can't feel the Fiesta behind us, and thankful for the rear camera! Presently not using any additional braking on the Fiesta and no issues uphill or downhill and I drive it like a motorhome 60-63 mph and don't tailgate (I know some will say you have to have additional braking system, but the law says no and with a rig like ours pulling 2500 pounds is effortless. Good luck with your selection! We used to pull stakes everytime we left campground...but the benefits of having the little car are enormous and well worth any/all effort.
