Hello everyone.
I am looking for a list of 4x4 suv's that can be flat towed.
Can anyone help me with this?
Also a reputable shop that sells & installs tow bar setups in the Vancouver BC area.
Thanks.

Well wratchet,
It all depends on just what you plan on doing with the intended 4x4, after you get it ready for towing. If you plan on say, using it for off road exploration and a general run-a-round street toy, the Jeep (just about any year '97 or later) is a close to a versital 4x4 as you can get and, it's seriously easy to set up for towing.
If you need cargo carrying capabilities, a 4x4 truck is recommended. Chevy's been flat towable for years, as well as Dodge and GMC. But Ford, came into the game late. They didn't setup their 4x4s for flat towing until 2012 and later. Now, this is of course, talking about the 1500 series GMC and Chevy and, the F-150 Fords. Not sure about the larger, heavier versions.

There are many SUV 4x4s out there to that can be flat towed but, again, it's about what you're going to use it for when not being towed.

To go along with the 2016 Guide that RobbieH pointed out here is the link Downloadable Dinghy Guides | MotorHome Magazine to the rest of the guides from 2000 to 2016 in case you are looking at an pre-owned vehicle. Each year the list changes slightly so you have to look the year of the vehicle up to be sure. Also when you hone in something you like it would be prudent to then download the owners manual to double check. I had a vehicle that changed from flat tow to no tow mid-year.
