Re: What's a good DD that can Tow

Brandon when I bought my Tahoe I didn't want one at all, I was looking at the smaller crossover type vehicles, Trailblazers, Explorers, ect. I know you said a Tahoe isn't what you are looking for because of the shitty gas mileage, but I found that they get as good if not better than a Trailblazer, Explorer, most AWD minivans, ect. Mine has the 5.3l V8 300hp300trq, and it still gets 20+mpg on the hwy, and 16avg in town.

Even if you are only towing a few times if you go the small V6 route you are going to kill the tranny in no time pulling a car. Now if you were to put a tranny cooler on a smaller vehicle and then take it easy you should be fine.

Usually tow vehicle even if it's only a few times a year and daily driver don't go hand in hand, andif you want something that is an all around vehicle you are going to have to sacrifice something, and usually that is gas mileage.

I would say an Envoy would be good for you, but they suck gas just as much as a Tahoe/Yukon.
