I have a 35' Class A 2017 Newmar Ventana LE DP with a 340 HP Cummins. I'm considering a 2nd vehicle to easily tow behind it, and realize there are far too many options to list or ask for. Nevertheless, I was hoping for a bit of insight from forum members with more experience than I, and hope to narrow down my list from here.This 4X4 won't be used for any other adventures requiring same. In fact, it'll likely be used as a primary drive-around-town vehicle, should I decide to off the FWD I currently use. There's myself, and my dog... Big SUV's & Mini Cooper's need not apply...Ease in the appropriate towing accoutrements, cost, installation, connectivity are desired, but given my inexperience, perhaps I don't realize what I'm asking... Suggestions?

Jeep Wrangler 2 or 4 door, easy set up to tow all 4 down

We really like our Grand Cherokee as a toad as well as our only daily drive vehicle. We have Blue Ox towing equipment and an SMI Stay in play braking system.

Depending on your budget. Jeeps, but their expensive. Suzuki Sidekick, light, cheap, durable, and a heck of a lot of fun.

Anything in the way of a pick-up?

When you go down the roads,
And you look at the toads.
You'll see Jeep after Jeep,
'til they disrupt your sleep.

Wrangler... or if you want the Cherokee, it's more like a SUV.

Here is what I would do. Take a look at the Dinghy towing guide. This link is for 2018 vehicles but you can go back in years if you seek a used vehicle. Just google the older guide. While the list isn't inclusive of everything that can be towed it really is for many of us that aren't looking for any modifications.

Most Ford, Chevy, and Dodge 4x4 pickups are towable depending on year and model. You should check the owner's manual under "Recreational Towing" or the FMCA towing guide for the particular year.
