Pulling 14' CRV/AWD four down with 11' Navion-IQ 24G. To date only on east coast. Handles great! I'm averaging 11mpg towing 16mpg not towing.

How fast are you towing? The worst I have done towing the Sonic is 13.75 and that was in the 8500 ft elevation mountains and in 2 inches of snow. I town about 62 usually and get 15mpg, not towing I get close to 17mpg on flat, dry ground with my '16 Prism G model.

I have been known to have a heavy foot!
Numbers were approximate not measured to the oz. I'll try and be more accurate with my post. I wouldn't want to intentionally mislead anyone

Do you still tow a MINI? We have a MINI on a toad and would like to get a four down MINI. Can you tell me what you are doing? Brand of hitch? Most of the newer MINI's are all wheel drive. Can they be flat towed? We have used our dolly for 5 different cars and probably 10K miles. No issues but hook up and take down is a problem if we have a road blocked. We are driving a Class A now but she wants to go back to a C for local camping and leave a TT in Florida for our snowbird trip. Thanks for your help.
