Tow Vechicle - Buying new one soon - What do you tow with

[zebedee]

The Admiral and I had a look at the Nissan X-Trail on Saturday. I never considered one until hearing from Snoop.
I sure was impressed. What a nice layout. and the cargo space is enough to actually carry some gear. Not ready to buy yet so did not take for test drive, but sure seemed to be the compromise that was made for my situation....

There are lots of similar alternatives in that sort of size/concept these days; very popular in road camouflage grey (aka motorcycle coloured) amongst the soccer mom set.

I tow with a 2.5l Forester and use about 12l/110k. The car does about 8.5l/100k solo.
Travel @ 100+km/hr.

Thank you all for the insight. Looks like we are going to buy a Hyundai. Think I'll be the first on here or Trailer Sailer Place that uses one, but the specs all sound so good.

We will probably test drive one today. After this is over I have to get my trailer in shape and then see if I remember how to rig the boat and can still sail.
