Jennifer,
You guys are about to make a very expensive decision so
let's see if the following might help you out.
1. Will this vehicle be your primary form of transportation?
*daily driver*
2. How large are the rear seat occupants? and are they still
growing?
3. Are you looking at new or
you need a to bar fitted and then if you have the power you can toe anything

Hey Guys,
I am having a car
Jennifer,
You can tow with a car, but most cars can't tow more then 2000 lbs. All
cars have a GVW (gross Vehicle Weight), and it is not recommended to load
your car up or tow anything that will put the car over that weight. For
towing long distances or in the mountains, it is best to stay under
You might want to look at mini vans. They can hold the whole family
and then some. They also come with tow packages if needed.

Yes you can tow a camper with a car but in general not really the best
option.
I will let some one more qualified handle that part of the question.
Another option to consider if you have the room is to get a suitable car for
the family

The only problem I see with Michael's suggestion to go with a Caravan
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the heads up.
My wife and I are looking at buying a new car, possibly a hybrid. Not sure
if the hybrid is sold in the Caravan version, but if it is, we're looking at
getting one of those.
I like the caravans because they're safe, I mean, my business partner's van

The only problem I see with Michael's suggestion to go with a Caravan is
that the Caravan is notorious for transmission failures sooner rather than
later.

First of all unless the vehicle was purpose built for towing
simply adding a hitch and a light kit will do nothing but
create long term problems for the suspension and drive
