Suggestions for tow vehicle with good mpg
My daughter wants to buy a new/used 4WD vehicle that gets good mileage yet pulls up to about 4,000 pounds. Any suggestions?

On the smaller/used end of the spectrum my 06 Ford Explorer Ltd with the 4.6L engine was rated at 7100# towing and had good driving manners and handling. It was the previous body which was built on a frame, had 6sp trans and could get 23-25 mpg's on highway (65 mph) and 17 mpg mix of city/highway. Towing a 4K trailer I would guess 12-14 mpg on highway.
