Which dinghy tow vehicle is suggested?
We are looking for a new vehicle to tow, but have found that the new SUVs and Crossovers are now constructed with the radiator behind the lower grill. We originally had a minivan with a lower opening ...

We are towing a 12 Honda CRV all wheel drive. The Blue Ox baseplates are designed for very minimal modifications to the original vehicle. Ours bolted on in front of the radiator. Just removed the factory Honda metal bumper and the baseplate bolted into place. The tabs come through existing openings in the Honda fascia and is almost invisible when the tow tabs are removed.
This is almost exactly what is required with our GMC Terrain. I understand the Chevy Equinox is also this method.
We have about 10,000 miles towing on our Terrain with absolutely no ill effects what so ever. I did install a switch in place of the required fuse that needs to be pulled...much easier than pulling that fuse every time. Now it's just turn the key to on, put it in neutral, flip the switch and make sure the parking brake is off.
