We started out towing using a 2002 RAV4 that we already owned and were very happy with. The $1800 it cost to set it up for towing at the time, including the Remco pump, was far less than it would have cost to trade it in on another car that we might not have liked as well. When we were ready to replace it in 2011, I found that all we needed was a different base plate to set up the new RAV4 Sport that we liked, so that's what we bought. The Remco pump has worked flawlessly on both toads for over 40,000 miles so far. The older RAV4 is still in faithful service, now serving as our extra car at our Adirondack vacation cottage, and has never had a pump related transmission issue.
