What tow vehicle do you use to pull your popup with?

[Deerman]

We have towed our popup tent camper with our Dodge Dakota V6 for years. With a pop up tent camper, you can pretty much pull it with anything. The tongue weight may be the only hang up and hold back.

We tow with a 2006 Dodge Dakota and have Viking 12 foot box. It has absolutely no problem.

We have a 2007 Chevy Suburban LTZ 1/2 ton 2wd
I cant pull our pup with a V6. Our fleetwood arcadia is too heavy

[Superslif]

Is the fleetwood arcadia one of those "high wall" PuP's? what is a the weight?

I know this is an old post, but it is a fun one. I towed our Palomino PopUp with a 1999 VW Passat 1.8 turbo. Pulled it no problem. Unfortunately we needed 2 vehicles to haul the family and gear because it was too small. Just bought a Ford Expedition. Now we can all go together in one ride. Looking forward to this years camping!!!!!

I'm gonna use my 2010 Huyndai Santa Fe. We have a Uber Clean 91 Jayco 1206. Should be a fun season!

My TV is a 2005 VW Passat Wagon with a 1.8 liter four cylinder turbo motor. Trailer is a 1990 Coleman Roanoke. No problems towing and great gas mileage. On the freeway I average around 24 mpg which is what I get commuting.

There is guy in my offroading club that tows his 1950lb pop-up with his 97 6cyl Jeep Wrangler. it tows it quite well.

I use my 2007 Chevy Classic 1500 and it works great, average about 17 - 18 MPG towing at 65MPH I have only had problem one time towing up the Tetons in Jackson WY. really had me worried

When I got my first popup I was driving (And towing with) a 1977 AMC hornet Hatch back, slant 6, 4 speed. When that died of a drug overdose (long story. Got run over by a drug store shuttle truck is the short version) I towed with a Ford LTD of about the same vintage, Big honking V-8 automatic.. That died of old age and I went to a Dodge Maxi Van B-250 Tradsman, Even bigger V-8 and auto. That ... was what I was still driving when I got my SCAMP trailer and gutted the PUP into a utility trailer...

So there you have 3 of 'em. I might add the Van did not seem to know the trailer was there... The LTD did not have any issues with it either.. The Hornet knew it, but no problems.

I see comments about Explorers not being good tow vehicles. Why is that? I have a 97 Explorer with a V8. I seems to do alright. Struggles a little on steep grades, but doesnt overheat, etc.

Well I tow a Coachmen with a 2004 Chevy Avalanche. At least I towed it home day before yesterday after I bought it. So far so good. The Avalanche tows and rides pretty good so I think I'll stick with it for a while

I issue was on the older V-6 Explorers...They had 2 different V-6 engines. The single over-head cam one had OK power for a daily driver, but for towing it was way under powered. And for both V-6 engines, unless you ordered it with a ungraded towing package you got a ball to tow with on the bumper.
