1992 Cadillac Brougham - 7000lb Tow Rating!!
ok . . . I'm narrowing down my search for a new Tow Vehicle to replace my little truck. So far I like the Buick Roadmaster/Caprice Wagon and the Cadillac Fleetwood. So far my criteria is that gotta cost less than $3000, get at least 20mpg, and . . . it'd be nice if it had a Posi Rear end and I could rollout a sleeping bag in the back
 Anyone know of other tow vehicles out there? Anyone ever tow with one of these babies? 7000lb tow rating!! 23mpg hwy.  http://consumerguideauto.howstuffwor...brougham-6.htm http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm

Or how about you just get in the left lane, go 10 mph under the speed limit, and leave your blinker on.
Merry Christmas Everyone!! Lloyd

My dad used to pull a 23 Penn Yan Flybridge with a 1976? Oldsmobile Delta 88 with air shocks added to support the weight. He would pull it to the beach (100 miles one way) almost every weekend with this car. Not very fast but a good ride. No kidding.

Towing isn't the problem for most vehicles, it's stopping the rig that scares me

I found this picture on another site (forget the text as I have no idea what that is about) but note the tow vehicle and that boat is a BW 25 outrage with twin V6 200's, That boat has to come in more than 7500lbs from what I have read the owner towed that boat all over the US with the caddy.

Hey Tim, just go for the Cadillac......
You could arrive in style at Long Point, FL. in the spring. Don't forget to pick-up Strick and the misses on your way. Merry Christmas, Ken

I can see your into big body cars. Maybe a nice big-body Mercedes Diesel. Plenty of tourqe to pull the car plus great fuel efficiency.
