The Jeeps are hard to beat as a tow vehicle. Slide transmission in neutral, put trans axle shift in neutral, push gear shift to park, roll away. KISS...

1. What's your F53's year/make/model? 2019 Georgetown GT5 31R5 (2018 F53)
2. What's your F53's length? 35'
3. What's your F53's typical weight? 9.2 Tons
4. What toad do you tow? 2018 Chevrolet Spark
5. Flat/dolly/trailer/etc.? 4-down
6. Any notes/trouble/solutions with your toad?

We got our Spark to tow behind our much-more limited Sprinter-based motorhome but sold that and got the Georgetown. The G-town doesn't even really know the 2300 lb. Spark is back there. It was easy to set the Spark up though we did have to add a Roadmaster battery disconnect since Chevy changed the towing rules for the Spark after we bought due to an issue with the stability control system. Even so, it was the cheapest car on the market and rides surprisingly well for a small car. Very happy with it.

2016 Tiffin Open Road 36LA
36' length
GCWR is 30K#
2014 Cadillac SRX, Flat towed

No one is going to buy an SRX as a tow vehicle, but if you already have one like we did, it's a great tow vehicle, if a bit heavy. Keeps us from having to have a separate vehicle for towing, as it's my wife's regular vehicle.

We use a Towmaster Sterling All-Terrain tow bar with an SMI Stay-in Play Duo braking system. Couldn't be happier with how it's all performed over 3-1/2 years.
