The pups died out as recession continues on. As for comments about lesser tow vehicles you still need at least 5000lb rated tow vehicles. That eliminated many Cuv leaving you with mid to full size vehicles,
If you do camp you know that it requires many peripheral equipment, toys, boats , grills and that's payload robbing weight.
Right back to half ton pickups to 3/4.
Exactly, my two 12' box, none slide, pop ups had heavy tongue weights that maxed or exceeded most crossover's low tongue weight rating. Plus with all the gear loaded into the vehicle, along with people, would exceed most crossover's payload and RGAWR.
So you really needed a truck based midsize SUV at a minimum, to tow these medium sized Pop Ups.
