I am looking for a FLAT TOW car , but it seems that almost EVERY one I consider , has really rotten ratings and histories on Car Complaints website.
I prefer something between 2005 and 2012 , for price reasons.
Jeeps ... ALL , seem to be a garbage car..
Saturns ... seem to drop transmissions often...
Equinox ... appears to have LOTS of complaints, except for '09 and '14 and newer...
Malibus ... Perhaps the worst transmissions & steering columns ever made...
Pickups ... just too heavy ...
I have had 5 in the past , and minimal issues , but those were older , and as such, made better than the non-American versions of newer ones.
I would GREATLY enjoy any input from actual owners on this topic.
Thank You
I have a 2018 Toyota Tacoma, Ext Cab, 4 cly, 2WD, automatic, only weights 4000 pounds and very reliable.
4 door short bed version weights about the same but cost more.
Great on gas.
You will need a driveline disconnect for the auto trans.
You can look for a used 2012 or older but why when the new base models don't cost that much.
