HI,
I'd love to hear experiences of towing teardrops with vehicles and optimizing both mileage and performance. That is, where is the sweet spot?
I know it's unsafe to be out there without enough power, but I'd like to hear about towing experience of vehicles with decent ground clearance (my Legacy wagon is a bit low at 6.5"--it's not an Outback and has skinny tires) and decent gas mileage (my Subaru gets 22 - 29 or so city/hwy and I'd love to do better). Currently I don't tow the tear with the legacy, but am using my boyfriend's Toyota pickup.
Last time I looked many of the hybrids I researched said "no towing", but I'm sure I'm not looking in the right place. Empty my teardrop weighed 600 lbs but I'm sure there is at least 200# of stuff that now lives in there.
Also, I have 2 dogs and like the idea of a hatchback or side slide door -- getting them in and out of the back of a pickup is not that easy.
Thanks for any ideas or experiences.
Stephanie
