So what does everyone tow...

WOW, Carcopguy get's the prize!!

Well, a few years ago, we borrowed a 20 year old 8' Jayco popup which we used my 1993 Ford Explorer to tow it.
We then bought a 2001 Coleman Niagara, and used the Explorer to tow it, but then bought a 2002 GMC Safari, as a new tow vehicle. Then we got a 2003 Tahoe Hybrid, and at 4,400 lbs dry weight,(6,000 GVWR) decided not to risk damaging the Safari, so bought a 2003 Chevy 2500HD crew cab.

PS--I see you live in Durango--GREAT town!  Some years ago we camped  out at Vallecito and loved  going into town  to Franciscos for margaritas and burritos.  Is the place still there?

Oh yeah, Franciscos is still around, it's probably the oldest restaraunt on main street, owned by the same family since it opened.  The good ritas and burritos aren't going anywhere
I used to live 5 miles from Vallecito lake, it was a beautiful place to go hang out till the fire came through  It is slowly coming back. Now we go to Navajo Lake.

We bought the Suburban late in the summer and did not have a chance to get it out on the road with our Bayside.  I am looking forward to seeing how it will work.  I have no doubt that it should be a dream compared to our old van.

We tow our 2001 Coleman Westlake with a 1998 Astro Van. It is still going strong with 95,000 miles.

We started with a 1996 Isuzu Trooper--manual transmission. Just this past November, we bought a 2003 Ford Expedition--auto transmission and fully loaded, including a DVD player so that we could take longer trips and keep our 3 y/o DS happy during the travelling to and from part.
 
 
Go figure though--DH still uses the Trooper to tow our 2002 Coleman Sun Valley. He doesn't want to put a lot of miles on the Expy! :rolleyes:

New to us Chevy Avalanche Z71.  We used to tow with a 94 K1500 Blazer.  This year will be our first w/AV.  I towed the camper to and from the dealer (35 miles or so, each way)  in tow-haul mode and it worked out better than I had hoped.  The FSO is pretty tall @ 55" plus but now I can see right over the top of the trailer out the back window and over the bed panels of the Avalanche.

Can't wait to try it out on a real trip...

When I bought my Utah, I had 1999 Jeep Cherokee, 6 cyl, no towing package but a dealer installed Mopar hitch. The Cherokee did OK towing the Utah (while carrying three women and all our stuff), but it seemed to have issues with stopping the PU!  Especially when going downhill! Since I live in the mountains, this is not a good thing!  

So about a year ago, I traded for a 2003 Dodge Durango with V-8 and full towing package. No problems hauling the Utah and all our stuff now! And no problems stopping easily.

The only problem is the heart attack I have every time I have to get gas these days! I had never put $30 worth of gas in a single vehicle before.  :eek:  But, then again, I never owned a V-8 before!  :rolleyes:

I love my Durango though! Looks great, rides great, hauls all my stuff, and tows my PU without even breaking a sweat!

We started with a '97 Grand Caravan.  We are now towing with our '04 Jeep Liberty.  Luv it!

See the signature.  Rodeo's only a four-banger.  Would like another couple of cylinders (or 40 more horses), but that'll wait.

Windstar is a 6 cylinder TRUCK ! It carries us, our tent and all the junk we can think of taking with us without complaining. We love it !
