I would still put my vote in for this or the Saturn Outlook (same thing different options). They seat 8, awd, and are rated up to 5200lbs...

Re: What's a good DD that can Tow

This topic is kind of interesting. I think the Acadia/Outlook/Traverse is a good option. They do tow 5200 lbs, and get 23mpg. Only possible downside is they are kind of big. 200 inches long and 78 inches wide. It will feel big.

Next best thing I can think of is a Toyota Highlander. They tow 5000 lbs and get 23mpg. But they are more car like in dimensions at 188 inches long and 75 inches wide. My brother owns one and they feel more like a car.

Another option is a Chevy Trailblazer with a V8. They can tow over 6000 lbs, and are about the size of a Highlander. Fuel economy will only be about 20mpg though.

later,
Curt
