Walt2137 Report post Posted December 25, 2014 We have a 2008 Saturn Vue. Great tow car. Does not have all the restrictions on time, speed, etc as many of the others. Almost all of the Chevy models tow just as easy as the Saturn. In particular the Chevy Equinox is almost identical to the Saturn. When my Saturn eventually dies, I'll be looking at the Equinox. I towed a 2010 4 cylinder Equinox for a while but it had a mysterious oil usage problem, you could drive a 1000 miles at times and no usage then the next 500 loose 2 qts and Chevy claimed that was acceptable and in range for oil usage ?? I got tired of arguing and traded it off and I was not the only one with this problem, so be sure that the oil usage problem has been corrected. Other than that and a lot of road noise it was OK and good fuel mileage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bizsmith@yahoo.com Report post Posted December 25, 2014 I would have answered Honda CRV but Honda with their infinite knowledge has made the CRV untowable for 2015. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted December 31, 2014 I tow a 2013 Lincoln MKX 4 down. Get 18-20 around town. 24-26 on highway. Prior to that I towed a 2000 Saturn Vue four down. Both are nice cars to tow but the MKX sure does have a lot of bells and whistles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingfr Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Jeep Wranglers are never a problem to tow. Not too sporty on fuel economy however! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted December 31, 2014 Depending on our destination I tow either a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport TJ (16-18mpg) or a 2014 Jeep Wrangler JKU (20-23mpg). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HLYWD Report post Posted July 10, 2019 Any updates on new SUVs that can be flat towed? I have a 2017 Ford Escape and just found out it has to be trailered, all 4 wheels off the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

five Report post Posted July 12, 2019 Since this thread started in 2013, it should be noted that starting with model year 2015, the Honda CRV is not towable four down. Honda put one of the new CVT (or whatever they call it) new transmissions in, which is not towable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I just rolled 100,000 miles in my 2014. I wish we could do enough lobbying with Honda to get them to make a option package available that made one towable. I would pay extra if it came with a base plate and wiring kit already installed ready to tow. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
five Report post Posted July 12, 2019 I called Honda's corp and complained and sent them a snail mail letter. The letter included an article from one of the MH magazines stating how we all loved the CRV and (at the time) it was the favorite vehicle used as a toad. They did acknowledge the letter and gave me a number to call. I called the number and the bottom line was that the new transmission increased Honda's over all MPG in their attempt to meet the gubmint's MPG goal.
