I've towed with everything out there, and for the money, you're probably best off with a Tahoe. The MDX, Pilot, Pathfinder and most of those midsize SUV's will struggle to pull a car on a trailer. Like someone else said, a DSM and flatbed are right around 5000 lbs. I've pulled my car many times with a 4.0 Grand Cherokee, but if you get any wind or a steep hill, you're screwed. At least their trannies are pretty strong, I know the MDX one isn't. And there's really only a few SUV's that get anywhere near 20mpg anyway, you can't have your cake and eat it too, unless you're willing to buy something pretty new.

BTW, Kiggly's 4Runner was a V8 model.
