Larry, Why? I have a Grand Caravan Sport. It has automatic load levelers, all wheel drive and came equipped with a towing package. I never towed anything with it. We sold our camping trailer many years ago. Lenny

Moore Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 10:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] cars and towing couple more things to consider is some thing like an s10 blazer or a GMC Gymmy or if you like some other brand That way you would have the lugsury and room of a car and better milage than your big suberbin. Also you would have a full truck frame and rear weel drive which I think is much better for towing. I don't know about other models but I believe some if not all Dodge caravans have a uni body construction which I don't think will stand up as well over the long haul. So what I might look for is some thing with a full frame, 5plus passenger interior, preferably a 4 door, and rear wheel drive. From there you can check out gas milage. What I am really saying is there are much smaller versions of what you now have and you won't need much cargo space since you can pull a pop up or just a utility trailer for your stuff. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of carl Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 5:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] cars and towing you need a to bar fitted and then if you have the power you can toe anything ----- Original Message ----- From: Jennifer Jackson To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 5:15 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] cars and towing Hey Guys, I am having a car dilemma that I sure hope you guys can help me out with. My family currently has a Suburban, but it is time for something newer. We do a lot of camping and other activities for which we fill up the interior space and add a car top carrier. The gas mileage for around town is killing us though. My thought has been to replace it with a car that will hold our family of five, and then getting a trailer to tow with the other stuff when we need it. Can a car do this? Do I need a tow package? What questions am I not thinking to ask? I look forward to your answer and possible suggestions. We are still driving that Suburban with the busted out back window. My husband is itching to get something else soon.
