RE: 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
For those casually looking at what they could tow four down the Motorhome Magazine Dinghy Towing Guides is a great place to start. It provide a great overview, but doesn’t get into many details.
For those that know more details; make, model, transmission, engine, etc. Then the REMOCO Towing Store is a great resource. It will tell you more details about towing; if you can, limitations, if you can’t or if a Lube Pump might solve the limitation.
But the ultimate authority is the actual Owners Manual that came with the vehicle. In most cases you can do a Google Search with the year make and model to find one online. Bu you will want to verify with the actual owners manual of that vehicle to be sure.
There are users that find out that they can tow four down just fine, going against what the manufacture states. If you go this route you’re on your own if there are any damages, this is why many won’t risk violating the warranty by towing against the owners manual recommendation.
Even vehicles that could be towed one year might not be recommended the next year, either changes to electronics, transmission, engine or the bean counters can all influence the change.

RE: Thor Outlaw hauling and towing togther
einy we generally don't want cross posting but based on the few comments you've had you can go ahead and cross post.
You can also search and see if you find some owners. The reality is these never caught on a great deal so they are a bit of a white rhino. Y-Guy

RE: 2013 Ford Fiesta dingy
Years ago I bought a dingy as my first car, back then the mileage was racked up towing or not towing so my mechanic didn't know how many were true miles. He checked things out very well before I bought it but it's a bit of a gamble. The car had 28,000 miles on it but based on some issues I had that were known on that vehicle we figured it had been towed about 12,000 miles.
The key is to have the car checked out by a mechanic.

RE: Hairline crack on tail end cap fix?
It's a 2020? Still under warranty? Don't try to fix it yourself, get it into the dealership or factory ASAP.

I can't say I've heard or seen those, appears they have been discontinued. Found one page that did talk about some quality issues, here and this post on RV.net

RE: is there a blue book" for toy hauler brands
First off I'm assuming you are taking used. The problem with NADA is it estimates based on sales, so it can vary wildly. But gives you some idea. Though many times private sellers don't care about what you've found, they are selling it based on what they owe. Going to www.pplmotorhomes.com is a good source for any RV they are a large volume dealer, a lot of consignments and trade-in's that tend to move fast. Spending sometime shopping on the various RV sites will give you an idea of what things are going or and what's not moving fast.

RE: Towing 4Runner
Anyone flat towing a Toyota 4Runner 4WD? I'm looking at picking up an old 4Runner (06 or so) or a Lexus GX470. I know I can flat tow the 470 and I suspect the 4Runner is no different. Anyone towing a 4Runner 4 down?
Thanks.
(Note: I know the owners manual says no)
jor
If you want to do this, check out Remco Towing you input the information and it will give you options, such as a Lube Pump, from Remco. Without a Lube Pump you will probably trash your transmission. But it will set you back around $2,000 too. Good luck.
