If you prefer a pickup, check into a Honda Ridgeline. Small enough, V6 powered, and available in a trim with heater leather seats.
i thought the Ridgeline would be a good choice for a tow vehicle.
but it doesn't compare against the newer v-8 trucks anymore.
it gets less gas mileage a new 5.3 v-8 Silverado/Sierra or a Dodge Ram Hemi v-8.
and the v-8 trucks have room for 6 adults, along with towing at least a ton and a half more.
this is the misconception about v-6 trucks getting much better gas mileage than bigger v-8 trucks.
v-6 truck technology has not kept up with what's going on with v-8 full size trucks.
