It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize that you are in a hurry.

We tow a 2006 Toyota Matrix 5spd. manual.
Very few Toyota's are towable 4 down and we just got lucky as we already owned it.

I tow a '12 Jeep JK with a Blue Ox and Air Force One. I've also towed an 07 JK and a 98 TJ. Jeeps are great tow vehicles.

From the responses, seems quite a few folks favor the CR-V....?
I was surprise to see the post by Sunset4k saying, "14 steps" to ready a jeep wrangler?
I thought the wranglers are supposed to be the easiest setup....? I'm curious as we are in the market for a new toad! Thanks for further info and all responses!

Wranglers do seem to be the number one choice but I think the number two choice is CRV. We have a 2014 CRV and love it we talk behind our hurricane 31 s.
We use the SMI brake system.
Takes a few minutes to make sure everything set up properly including the lights and so on. But I think that would be true of any vehicle takes less than 10 minutes to disassemble everything and you're good to go with the CR-V.
