what Car for pulling a trailer? - DILTS - 12-28-2011
Okay I wasn't sure how to word the title..
I currently drive a Chevy express extended & average 13.5 mpg!
I am thinking about buying a car. I'm looking for something around a 05-09 that'll get 30+ mpg & pull a small trailer. Weight: 600-1000lbs with the trailer & bikes.
Idk much about cars I normally have trucks, I have 2 kids now so I need room and I want good mpg..
Also Idc what's stylish. I'm just sick of throwing $ away on gas!

Awesome, you said "my usual economy is 55-60 mpg" Sites I looked at say City (MPG) 28 Hwy (MPG) 37 for 2012.?
You have 5 speed or auto?
what Car for pulling a trailer? - J Blox - 12-28-2011
they are all auto.
its rated at like 48/50 i believe. not sure what sites you looking at. Depending on how you drive. if you "hypermile" you can get into the 60s. i've been in a hurry lately so i get about what it rates. 46-48 now that its winter.
edmunds rates it at 45/48. 48/51 for the 2012 model based on toyotas site

Yeah pretty much anything will do. I'm a Honda tech and it blows my mind the shot people tow with civics and accords. We have one customer who tows a 21 foot open fisherman on a civic hahaha. I think of towing a bike like just having a two fat girls tag along lol
