What weight toad do you have behind your class c ?

[Cloud_9]

We currently flat tow a Pontiac Vibe, curb weight 2960 lbs. DW wants something slightly larger with automatic transmission. We have a 2007class c , with 6.0L V8, 31ft, on Chevy chassis, Fourwinds Chateau. Just wondering what others are towing?

The Colorado Auto, is Curb Weight 3,555 lbs with me in it at a truck stop and hitch weight is 30 lbs (yes thirty pounds). The Colorado is made to be towed, the MH is rated at 5000lbs. Hold down 2 buttons for 10 seconds and that is it.

Ahh yes a Colorado, I'm towing a Saturn now but I'm on the lookout for a Colorado. I can't get enough of the other must have "junk" in the rear seat of the car....lol

Replace the wife and keep the toad.....and you can't have my dearest. She likes her Vibe.

Wow, great feedback, thanks to all. tow weight is 5000lbs. Yup, a better title may have been how heavy? The Vibe tows very well, however, dh can't/won't drive it.

we have 2800 lb Hyundai Elantra, 4 down as it is a standard. Plenty roomy for 2 and yet has full fold down seats in rear if extra storage space needed.

I have a 2014 Ford Focus, @ about 2948 I believe, it is flat towable, but I already had the dolly, so that's how I tow it.

We tow a 3500lb CRV behind our 29' c-class, 4 down, no problems.
Winnebago rated our MH for towing 5000lbs but only 350lb tongue weight.

Personally, I'd resist that change. We went from a mini-pickup that was rated to weigh about 2500 to a midsize pickup rated to be 3500 but scales out at 4000. We can feel that difference with our V10. If you had opened this thread asking "how heavy can I go?" I'd've said "3000" and you're already there.

That said, Honda CR-V is somewhat bigger than a Matrix, is a very nice, reliable daily driver, and I'm told it weighs just a little south of 3500. I'd settle there but my advice is don't go any heavier. PLEASE NOTE: 2014 is the last year of towable CR-V's. 2015 is coming out with a CVT (EDIT: Continuously Variable NOT "Constant Velocity" Transmission - SORRY - Didn't look right when I typed it!) and nearly every CVT is NOT Towable.

Well the DW wanted me to keep a truck so with our 32' Class C we tow a 2008 Colorado 4x4, 4 down and love it small light but has carrying room and big inside.
