Towing with a VUE

Hi, Personally I would not tow anything 500lbs more than the rated capacity of my tow vehicle. Especially with a Vue. If you have an F-250 already. Why would you tow with a 4wd car. When a full size truck is better.

Thanks for the comments. That's what I'm looking for. Although we will not be buying the 4wd model. 'Course if it proves out that I shouldn't tow even short trips with it, I probably wont' buy it at all. I don't really need a yuppie SUV (mall terrain vehicle) nor for that matter does anyone. I'll just buy a car.

Steve, I am sorry I saw FWD and thought four wheel drive. Not front wheel drive. If it is Front Wheel Drive I definitely would not tow with it. Especially up a ramp. Not enough weight over the drive wheels for traction. I have a ?91 4WD S10 blazer that only moves when it snows or tows the boat or camper and twice a month to work just to run it or the occasional furniture move etc? Every other time I drive my ?00 SL1

I had put a class 1 hitch on a '85 VW GTI and used it to pull a 1500 lb Sea-Doo boat. (if that didn't look funny as the boat was bigger than the car) I had wide high performance tires and it went up the ramp pretty well. OK, so sometimes at low tide, there was a bit of wheel spin from all the algae. Just get a friend to sit on the hood for extra traction. Only needed that very rarely though.

Will be getting a class 1 hidden hitch soon for the LW300 and don't foresee any problems as long as not done on a regular basis. Good idea to change the tranny fluid more often though.
