Hello,

I know this subject is getting old but... I pondered over which SUV tow
vehicle to purchase back in 2000.  After months of asking questions of
other "towers" at racing events,  I bought a Dodge Durango with the big
5.9 L engine and tow package.  It has not let me down.  I tow a double
axle open trailer -- with race car (1959 Peerless GT) it weighs in at
4000 lbs.  I can travel at 55-65 mph and get between 12-13 mpg....  Yes,
I was surprised too!

Today, if I was purchasing an SUV, I would look into the new Chevy Envoy
with the 6L engine.  It's been rated very high by the trade magazines
for towing....  But, the Durango is a very good choice also if you want
the "old" horsepower and drivetrain technology...easy to work on
yourself.

Best regards,
Ron Cressey
