Do you mind telling us which one?
The A4 should be a good tow vehicle.

But -- I also work for a car magazine, so I plan to get some press trucks and SUV's for some trips. There are a few of the new small SUVs and Crossovers I want to try out with the camper.

Look closely, not every day do you see a teardrop being pulled by a Corvette (I might add, a very hot factory Corvette).

I think an 8 second AMC Gremlin would be kinda fun!

For now, since I just sold the Chevy S-10 Tahoe (it was time. 267,000 miles) I'll prolly just use my little Nissan PU.

Don't know if I already chimed in....

2001 Honda Accord 4 cyl with added trans cooler for extra measure...

this was trip #1 to LCG... this is only primer, now has garnet red fenders and cream color paint... will get some garnet on the body too as soon as we thaw out... I'm more colorful than just black and white!

sweet , easy tow for 6 hours to LCG at about 70-75 mph and got at least 20 mpg.... and people wonder why I camp with a teardrop!

ps... the car is paid off and about 140k miles . The Jewel Box is 5x8 and cost about $1800.... PRICELESS!

Some things are way over my head !! ...but it keeps me looking UP!

What that huge, oversized Geo Metro? Whaddya tryin' to tow, a house? Here's an economical tow vehicle:

Image

That's a late-50s Bond Minicar three-wheeler with the single cylinder motorcycle engine driving (and turning with!) the single front wheel. It may be the Mark E with its 200cc engine or, the hot-rodder's choice, the Mark F with a throbbing 250cc engine capable of more than 50mph.

The trailer is a Weferlinger LC9 from East Germany.

Andrew,

That is a cute little rig, but you must remember, we do have roads over here that allow us to drive over 30 mph! :lol:
