Reasonably decent towed vehicles for a Class A

Community Alumni
Not applicable
What are some reasonably priced vehicles suitable for flat towing behind a Coachmen Mirada 32ss? I know several Jeep products are suitable along with most manual transmission vehicles but it would help me choose a vehicle if I could get recommendations from others with Class A rigs. We just bought a new-to-us Mirada and are looking for a suitable toad.

Problems can occur when towing that existed at mfg. An excellecent recent example is death wobble due to EPS which has less damping than hydraulic steering. Do extensive homework on any car because even as a DIY setup is expensive.

Tom is correct as toads represent a very small market for mfg and that market is quickly ignored when other factors are considered.

The number of NEW vehicles that can be flat towed is declining. There are quite a few older cars that can be. I towed Jeep Wranglers, and Chevy Sonic’s. Both easy to tow. Previous post gives info on where to look for more models.

When decide on a vehicle, check out NSA’s Ready Brute Elite which is a tow bar aux brake combo. Very easy to set up and use.

The Dinghy Towing forum is better suited for your question. Perhaps do some searching there. FMCA and Motorhome magazine both publish towing quides. CRV up to 2014 can be towed. My current Jeep might be heavier than you want. Both of these cars have automatic trannys.

Flat towing also involves a tow bar, base plate, aux brake, lights and possible charging line.
