Hi All,

I am new to this group and last fall added a glider rating to my ASEL certificate.

I am planning to replace my car this summer and in anticipation of purchasing a glider someday, I would like to purchase a vehicle that would do a good job towing a glider. I also want it to get the best gas mileage that it can while still being a good tow vehicle. I don't want something that is marginal and will make long distance towing a stressful affair, but also don't want a vehicle that is overkill.

What is the typical range o gross weights of a single seat glider plus trailer?

Recommendations on a good tow vehicles?

Thanks for your help

Bill,
Just stick with your blue Subaru. It will look great pulling a glider trailer and you can put the money towards the glider. Or if you have to get a new car almost all Subaru's newer body styles have grown larger over the last redesigns. I think most any of them would be just fine pulling a single seat glider. So what kind of glider are you getting??? Hurry up I want to fly cross country together. Have you found a replacement tow pilot to fill your empty seat in the Pawnee?
