[Rhodes22-list] Need tow vehicle recommendation

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I'd echo what was said about a 5000 tow rating. Our Nissan Frontier 
has a 6300 tow rating and pulls and launches the R22 easily. We don't 
have 4 wheel drive but the ramps around here are pretty good. Our old 
Chev Blazer had a 5000 tow rating and it did just fine but the 
Frontier is better.

Trailer Life does a nice job listing the tow ratings of current 
vehicles and if you are thinking of buying used, they have the 
ratings on their website for each year going back to 1999.

Best,
