5000 pounds is the minimum I would recommend. And at least a V6. Our 3.5L V6 Highlander is rated for 5000 and it tows our 179 quite nicely.]]> Tue, 18 Oct 2016 12:17:14 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8919&PID=83703#83703 Potential owner : Thanks.

Thanks. That was my feeling too and we have tabled the idea until we have a different tow Vehicle with a higher towing rating.]]> Tue, 18 Oct 2016 12:11:02 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8919&PID=83702#83702 Potential owner : Even shorter answer: No. http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8919&PID=83699#83699 Author: CharlieM

Short answer, no, you can't exceed the tow rating by that much and still be safe. In fact, even running at the tow rating is risky.]]> Tue, 18 Oct 2016 11:24:03 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8919&PID=83697#83697 Potential owner : I own a Mazda CX5 with a 2.5 L... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8919&PID=83695#83695 Author: Frank P

I own a Mazda CX5 with a 2.5 L AWD. The towing rating is 2000 LBS. All R Pods are heavier than that. With the right hitch and never plannig to cross the Great Divide, can you exceed the rating and not be unsafe or damage the SUV? I was interested in the 180 but that is 600+ LBS over the rating. I tow a light trimaran sailboat now with the CX5 but it is under the rating. BTW, we live in Wisconsin.]]> Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:45:42 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8919&PID=83695#83695
