Good day forum people. We are new owners of a 2010 171. We bought used obviously but are very happy. We've recently got back from a two and a half week trip where we visited four provincial parks. the whole family had fun.
We are pulling with a 2009 Mazda Tribute V6 4wd with factory tow package. It pulls okay as long as you're not in a hurry. We drive 100kph on the highway. We slow down to 90kph when things get hilly. That seems to work fine. Fuel economy is cut almost in half though. Here is a photo I took from one of the camp grounds we visited here in Saskatchewan.  ------------- 2010 R-Pod 171 towed by a 2009 Mazda Tribute. |
