We currently use a Wrangler XL 4-door. It gets about 12-13mpg while towing here in Florida, but does struggle a bit. We are hoping to replace it with a new Jeep Grand Cherokee with the new diesel motor. It has the same torque and pulling power as the v8 hemi and gets 50% better mileage.

You can't beat a F150... if you want a truck for a vehicle. Cool thing about towing with a PU is the generators can be in the truck bed with the fuel cans and it keeps the smell out of the cabin of the TV. |

oops, hit the wrong button on my prior post!! what else is hog one going to say.....F150!!!! as I mentioned in a prior post, I think pick-ups (full size) make great tow vehicles and are very versatile for camping and as others mentioned (and I completely agree), an all purpose vehicle for everyday use. brand choice is completely preference. everyone chooses a tv to fit there needs. just get something with a big enough tow rating and you will feel much safer and comfy. Just hogone's opinion.

We have the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. Redesigned totally for this model year. It has the awesome CVT transmission. Like having 9 speeds forward but never feeling a shift point. Tows like a dream.
Running free we get 22-24 MPG. Towing at 60 mph, we get 12 - 14 MPG. It has a 5000# tow rating and with the tow package came with hitch and seven pin socket imbedded in bumper. Is prewired for brake controller with harness furnished. No wires to run. We have the Prodigy brake controller, but have not needed sway control or WDH. |

We have a 1998 Toyota Sienna with over 200,000 miles on it that we have been using to tow our pod and are thinking it is time to replace it. We would like something with the best possible gas mileage while still having enough power to pull the pod. We'd love to hear what other people have found that you like.
Thanks! |
