Welcome to the Escapee forums! The reason your sales people won't usually answer on the ability to tow a vehicle is either that the answer is you can't and they want you to buy anyway, or they do not know. The first place to look is in the vehicle's owner's manual. A good place to research what vehicles to look at is the annual Dinghy Towing Guides from Motor Home magazine. If you wish to have some ideas on what to shop for, REMCO Towing has a list of recommended vehicles as well as a place to look up each vehicle to see if it needs modified and if there is a kit to make it towable. There are a lot of choices out there, but there are even more than can't be towed or that must be modified. Many people tow for many happy miles using a vehicle that has been equipped with a REMCO kit to make it towable.
Thanks, Kirk! This is very useful info.

Now a Honda CRV, but previously Honda Fit and several different year Geo Trackers. Trackers and Fit were my favorites, because they only weighed about 2600 lbs, didn't even slow me down.
Do you tow the Honda CRV 4 wheels down or on a dolly? That's one of the vehicles we're looking at. Thanks!

We're looking to replace our Jeep Wrangler with either a new or less than 3 year old small SUV or car that we can flat tow. Much as we love our Wrangler, we'd like a four-door vehicle that's a little bigger and easier to get in and out of. I don't want a pick-up truck. If you flat tow a car or small to mid size SUV, what make, model and year is it? It seems like the car dealers don't want to commit to saying you can flat tow any vehicle -- we'd love to hear from the voice of experience. Thanks!

If you flat tow, what vehicle do you tow?

Thanks everyone for all the valuable input, great info and good advice! We've decided on the 2020 Chevy Equinox. I like the ease of getting in and out as well as the bells and whistles that we didn't have in our Wrangler. Flat towing shouldn't pose a problem. From comments above, it looked like people who had them were usually happy campers.
