Okay, pretend your old aunt, whose claim to fame is that she has been driving a standard shift all her life, and has driven just about anything, Class A's, C's, but has never towed, has decided she wants to buy an untra light trailer like a Casita but needs a vehicle to tow it with. She doesn't want new because she would have a heart attack paying that kind of money, but she doesn't have clue about tow packages or tongue weight. Also she really wants an SUV, not a truck because the look pretty.
Could you give her some advise? She has learned that dealers will tell you anything to make a sale so she would like to go to a dealer with the right questions.
And remember she is your favorite aunt, not one who your expecting to inherit from?
Thanks
The smaller Casitas can be towed with a properly equipped Toyota Highlander, and any of them with a Sequoia. Also look at Ford Explorers. The hard part will be finding a used Highlander or Explorer with a tow package, they are not common. She is much more likely to find a used Sequoia with a tow package, but they are pricey.
Others that would work would be a Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Acura MDX, Nissan Pathfinder or Nissan Armada.
And BTW, I'm with your aunt, I prefer a SUV to a truck. :D And I know the SUVs that would work, because I'm looking at doing exactly the same thing. :D She should also look at the smallest Jaycos and Gulfstreams.
