Our first tow vehicle was a 2007 Honda CR-V and then we traded for a 2013 CR-V. Both were excellent tow vehicles and both AWD. I had the M & G on the first one and the Air-Force-One on the second.
When I wanted a new tow vehicle, Honda's that are 2015 and newer are not towable. So, I decided on the Lincoln MKX AWD. I had the Air-Forced-One installed.
Originally, I chose the Honda CR-V because it was higher off of the ground than a sedan. We don't off road so the clearance was fine for us. If we were to straddle an object going down the interstate, I didn't want it to get 'hung-up' on a lower sitting vehicle like a sedan, hence the small SUV has a higher stance.
And, I have seen a lot of 'stuff' on the roadway. It's amazing what we have had to dodge. LOL!
Safe travels,
MM.
