Thoughts on next tow vehicle
I have a 2006 Subaru Outback that I have towed my 2009 Coleman Yuma pop up with for several years. The Outback is getting up there in mileage, and I would like some ideas for a more ideal tow vehic...

Yes Mini-Vans are terrible for towing..285 HP, 1100-1500 lbs of payload, wide stances, low center of gravity, and good handling all make for a terrible towing experience.
actually, they are superb tow vehicles when used appropriately... No, I'm not advocating using a Minivan to pull a 10k lb trailer but for a PUP they are EXCELLENT tow vehicles. Especially when used with a WD hitch and sway control.
Never mind that they are extremely versatile, easy to load, easy to reconfigure from passenger hauling to cargo hauling.
Another excellent choice is the Chevy Traverse, Ford Explorer, Ford Edge, Grand Cherokee, and Dodge Durango.... Probably more..
There are so many more options than a Truck.
My choice is in my sig BTW...
Thanks!
