Location: Chicago, Beverly | something 4 wheel drive for sure. A Chevy Trailblazer with the straight 6 would be a good choice. Other midsize trucks would be ford explorer, jeep grand cherokee, dodge durango. But with those a v-8 may be best choice as the v-6's can leave something to be desired on the hp/torque side of things. Best to check the hp/torque rating on the ones you look at and only get a truck with FACTORY tow packages. Avoid trucks where you will need to install aftermarket tow package items like trans cooler and hitch. Avoid trucks where they do not have a normal truck axel. Jeep Liberty comes to mind on that along with several models of Japanese trucks along with ford escape. If you go Japanese make sure it has a normal axel up front and in back and a bigger engine that can handle towing. If you go pickup, smaller one to get would be dodge dakota with the v-8, larger any of the big 3.
If full size suv any of the big ones from the big 3 along with maybe one or two from the japanese like nissan armada... I reccomend sticking with the big 3 myself. |
