4 down automatic dinghy

Question

We have a 2004 Saturn Vue that we have used as a dinghy since we bought it new. We are thinking about replacing it and looking for suggestions. Our needs: Automatic, 4 down, no modifications other than tow plate and wiring, decent ride, SUV if possible. Curb weight for our Saturn is just under 3500 LB, so we would like to stay at about the same weight.

No jeeps. Have rented jeeps a few times and we don't care for the ride.

Thanks

Read through and pick one first thought was the Chevy Equinox since you apparently like GM.http://webcontent.goodsam.com/motorhomemagazine.com/2019DinghyGuide.pdf

We are not necessarily partial to GM. We bought the Saturn because it has a HONDA engine and transmission. Otherwise we would have bought the Honda CRV.

"Otherwise we would have bought the Honda CRV". The last 4 down towable CR-V was 2014. Might still be an option if you could find a low mileage used one.Bill

I don't see any Subarus listed in the Good Sam guide. Are none of them, particularly the Forester, towable?
