Hi All-
Looks like it's time to buy a tow vehicle since my Mini Cooper isn't going to be up to the task...
I am considering an SUV since I have a (soon to be) growing family and 2 English Bulldogs that like to come along on trips. Another issue is that the vehicle has to be under 19' long to fit in my garage, so no longbed trucks. Right now my FC is on a lightweight open single axle trailer, but I would like to upgrade to an enclosed (16'?) trailer in the future. Question: how much towing capacity should I look for if I am hauling a 16' trailer and FC? My current setup is only about 2000lbs.
I have been looking at the Nissan Armada since it has a 9100lb rating...does that sound sufficient? I have no idea how much an enclosed trailer weighs. Other vehicles I'm considering are the V8 Toyota 4Runner (7300lbs), Nissan Pathfinder (6,000lbs).
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks!
Jim
