We've been looking at Chevy Equinox but need to research more about the battery disconnect procedure.
Older Saturn Vues are towable.
Toyota Rav4's.
What makes you think the Equinox requires a battery disconnect procedure???:h All it needs is the ignition in the on (not start) position, trans in neutral, and the removal of a fuse (most of us install a by-pass switch in place of the fuse).
That's it! No need to disconnect the battery!
And I don't believe the Rav4 (auto or manual) is 4-down towable.
To the OP, our Terrain fits all your criteria as would the sister to the Terrain, the Equinox. If you want something a little larger, the Chevy Captiva makes an excellent toad.
Good luck
