An Isuzu Rodeo V-6 2wd would be a great choice for towing an MG.
Economically priced with a 205 HP V-6 with 4500 pounds factory rated tow
weight capacity!! You won't touch that tow rating at the price.
Additionally, the engine/trans is built by Honda but Isuzu sells the Rodeo
for approximately $2000.00 less than the comparable Honda Passport, which
uses the same engine/trans and is otherwise just about the same car.
Just so happens that I have a really nice one for sale for $12,900, a 2000
with 36,000 miles, owned by me, a fellow lister MG enthusiast. Lots of
equipment with factory warranty remaining! NADA is $14100. See it on my
website at http://jerbesfield.home.mindspring.com/Rodeo.htm. It's in Atlanta
(Roswell), GA. This way you COULD have the SUV!
I've hauled some of the parts for my B in it but have never towed the B (or
anything else) with it, though I know it would be very good for this
purpose. It is fresh.
Sorry about the commercial plug. Couldn't help myself. ; < )

Subject: MG tow vehicle
Listers,
Any advice on a pickup tow vehicle with an engine large enough to tow an
MG behind? I want a V6, not an 8, economical, roomy(sits 4), short bed,
not sure about 2 or 4wd? With the Florida move imminent, I want
something reliable to get me back up north when an event calls. Not
looking for an SUV, too expensive. Anyone been there,done that already?
Foreign or domestic?
TIA,
Dave Houser
