After a trip across the county towing my car on a dolly I'm looking to find a dinghy I can tow with 4 wheels on the road. The dolly takes up too much time and space. I'm looking at the Chevy Equinox Crossover and wonder if anyone has any information on towing them. As per usual the manufacturer is reluctant to tell me anything. I would consider other makes/models if they are recommended.

I'm probably looking at a 2013 or 2014 depending on the information about towing.

We previously towed a chevy 4 WD trailblaser and now on our second 4 Door Jeep Wrangler, I am 6'3 and have lots of room along with storage. Very easy to hook and unhook, the Jeep is ideal for off side road touring. We have a 45' coach and sometimes forget its behind us (camera keeps me informed). The Wrangler is our second car , we use it more than my wife's Expidition.

We own a 2012 Equinox and purchased it specifically for ease of towing. While I have not yet had the bracket added to the front of the Equinox, I have read many posts and watched several vidoes depicting how it is done. The Equinox is just as towable as the CR-V now. Good luck!

We have towed a 2011 Equinox with automatic transmission for about 30,000 miles with no problems. There is one fuse to pull, but I installed a switch so I don't have to pull the fuse.

Thanks for the information. Are you folks driving Front Wheel Drive or All Wheel Drive?

We have towed a 2012 Equinox 2 wheel drive approx 3500 miles with no problems. Easy hook up, tows well. We used Roadmaster tow bar and base plate.
I found a utube video on etrailer.com with installation instructions. Owners manual gives instructions on towing.

Check out the Honda CRV, 2 wd or 4 wd and the manual explains how to prepare for "towing behind a MH."
