We have towed a 2000 Honda CRV - a most excellent car.

Interestingly, the new Honda Fit is also towable. The Fit was listed by Consumer Reports as the most reliable compact to date.

Jeep Wrangler!! WE took ours out west last fall to Moab and what a ball we had going places sedans would not go. It's light to tow, small enough to get around anywhere and fairly economical. Love our Wrangler!

We tow an 04 Mustang convertable or a 00 Chevy Suburban. Both do not require any modifications. We always use a FROG breaking system.

We are considering on buying a car to tow behind our Class A motorhome. We have a 33 foot HR Admiral and presently have a motorcycle carrier lift on the back and would like to be able to also tow a car. We are interested in knowing what type of car people have found to be the most easiest to tow.
Thanks!

Since your motorcycle lift will be limited to the amount of weight you can tow behind it(most likely under 3000lbs.) would not want to tow anything heavy. We towed an older Ford Escort(2500lbs.) behind our motorcycle lift. Most all of the aforementioned tow cars are in excess of 3000lbs.! Our '07 Saturn, we just sold, was 2800lbs.(did not have to pull any fuses!).
