RE: 2000 Winnebago Minnie Winnie DL

Looking for a toad for Winnie...am thinking something around the year 2000...don't need a lot of bells and whistles with the toad...just solid mechanical...what vehicles around that year have long lives...assuming proper care by their owner(s).

All input appreciated.

As long as you can drive a standard transmission, any standard transmission Subaru can be towed 4 down. No automatic transmission Subaru can be towed except on a trailer, not even a tow dolly.

The Subaru is easy.
1. release parking brake
2. put transmission in neutral
3. turn key 1 click to unlock steering

and GO! No fuses to pull, no pre or mid towing procedure to go through to lube transmission. No distance restriction. No speed restriction.

As a bonus, it is 4 wheel drive for those out of the way places you may want to visit.

I'm on my first Subaru, but all of my toads from now on will be Subarus.

It depends on if you want to go off road. So do you want 2 wheel drive or a 4X4?

I'm happy with the Honda CR-V we tow. It's been a perfectly reliable daily driver.

I tow a 2003 VW Jetta standard, with Diesel engine. It has 330,000 miles and runs great - it is an everyday car to work and back. It works great, and whether gas or diesel, around that year should be relatively inexpensive.
