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.

I found the best tow vehicle I ever had was a Sububan. I have had Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford F-150 FX4, and Toyota pickup. The jeep, I got into. Swaying episode, recovered fine, but scared the daylights out of me. There are two problems with the Suburban, one is mileage is not good and the other was, I kept forgetting I was towing a glider as it towed it so well!

35 years of towing with a variety of vehicles , now a Nissan 4x4 frontier, best ever all round vehicle
