Suggestions on cheap tow rig?
Depends if you need an 8-passenger vehicle or not. Should be lots of 3/4 and 1 ton crew cab trucks available, any of which should do the job.
If you need seating for 8, the search becomes harder. 3/4 ton Suburbans and Ford Excursions are your only option. Ford quit making the Excursion in 2005, and GM hasn't made a 3/4 ton Suburban for a couple years (I believe). The 'Burbs are hard to find on the used market -- I looked for quite a while for a 3/4 ton when we bought our '10, and didn't find anything that was acceptable.
3/4 or 1 ton full-size vans should work as well, but I don't know much about those.
Good luck!
