Wow, I though narrowing the field of which class A was challenging enough... now we're looking to replace our 1998 Ford Explorer and I want to make sure whatever we get can be safely flat-towed. Getting into all this has me considering going back to our original plan... a 5Ver!
I have found the Motorhome website that lists the 2013 vehicles they say are flat tow safe... but see tons of info on this subject that would suggest those are not the only vehicles OK to tow.
Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of vehicles that can be safely flat towed?
freestoneangler,
The "Dinghy Towing Guide", put out by either Motor Home Magazine or, Trailer Life Magazine is primarily the unilateral source for looking at what model of maker, is or, is not, flat towable. If you're liking a certain make/model/type of vehicle in terms of your next daily mode of transportation, then check that source to see if it's flat towable.
Then, to really get down and dirty and REALLY make sure, go to the owners manual of that particular car/truck/SUV etc. and look up the section on flat towing it. I won't begin to tell you all of the models I know are flat towable. Because you can find that out like stated, easily in the Dinghy Towing Guide for that year vehicle you're thinking about. Good luck.
