Heck, I do fine with an old '95 Toyota Pickup with the 2.4L. I put a cap on the back so I have room for stuff out of the weather, plus I get much better mileage that way. I get 30mpg in normal driving, and got something like 20-25mpg dragging a trailer last year. It is a little slow on long uphills, though. It seems to me that Charlie usually tows with big vans, from what he's said. I do have a minivan, but I've heard too many horror stories about transmission failures to tow with it at this point (130K miles). I get by pretty well using my 99 Olds Alero with a 6 cylinder engine. I only push it to about 55 though as Ive got a big ole Gehrlein trailer that is draggy as hell. Its way too much trailer for my glider but oh well its what I've got. I think a suburban will work fine. |
