Car/Truck to pull glider trailer
Favorite tow car: Saab 900T
Current tow car: Hyundai Tucson - 2010, front wheel drive, 6 speed manual, 1000 lb tow capacity with out trailer brakes, 2000 lb tow capacity with trailer brakes Great around town car. Would be excellent, if not for rearward visibility issues. 26-27 mpg freeway at normal speeds (around 75 mph). 22-23 mpg towing the trailer. Adequate tow car. Normally tow Avionic/SZD 55-1 combo with an all up weight of 1700 lbs. (Yes, I did weigh it.) Have also towed Jantar Junior/Gehrline, 2-33/open trailer, 1-26/open trailer and single seat Grob/tube type trailer. Have towed to Montague, Ephrata, AirSailing, Logan, and Nephi. Have towed logging roads and freeway up to (shhhh! don't tell anyone) 90 mph. Front wheel slippage can be a problem towing up steep dirt roads in the rain. Recommend all wheel drive if you land off field a lot. P9
