I need to buy, and then tow, a mid- to full-sized SUV.
1) Does anyone know what SUVs can be towed?
2) Any recommendations for a particular vehicle

Thanks

I should have cautioned you to know and understand the various weights and weight ratings of your motorhome before buying a dinghy.

in general, the maximum amount of weight you can safely tow will be the lesser of the following:

- the GCWR (gross combination weight rating) of the MH minus the actual weight of the MH as it is loaded for travel (includes fuel, fresh water, food, clothing, people, pets, supplies, etc.)

- the weight rating of your tow bar

- the weight rating of your hitch

this is why it's vital to know what your MH weighs...by individual axle weights...as it is loaded and configure for travel before choosing a toad. Your MH will not collapse if it is overloaded but you will experience handling issues as well as longer braking distances and accelerated wear on suspension, brakes, steering, etc.
