[QUOTE="MrBill47, post: 514390, member: 35530"] I've been pulling a 16' 1980 Lowline with my cars for years.. 1992 Taurus (bad idea .. weak transmission), a 1999 Audi A4 1.8t ... best tow car I've had, AWD, plenty of power, great brakes (got a lot of looks at the ramps), a Buick Century V6, and lately a Jetta Sportwagon 2.5L (rated for 2000# tow cap.). Only problems I've ever had with the tow vehicles have been really crappy tires from the previous owner on the Audi, and the disintegrating torque converter on the Taurus. Drive carefully, maintain situational awareness, and anticipate stopping (approach stoplights carefully, DO NOT tailgate). And, I get 19-20 mpg towing with the Jetta! [/QUOTE]
