What do you tow with your 2026 View 24T / Navion?

[High Desert]

Downsizing from DP Class A to 2026 View 24T. We towed a 2020 Rubicon with the A, but I’m a bit concerned about doing the same with the View. So, looking for ideas of good, flat towable vehicles that won’t cost an arm and a leg, as I’m thinking of keeping the Rubicon. What have people found to be a good vehicle that is comfortable for 2 adults? I have had a 2008 2 door JK Sahara, but that shirt wheelbase makes for a pretty rough ride, as I am now in my “comfort years”.

Of course the 2026 View 24T has a pretty small GVWR overall, so the toad’s weight is pretty important.

I tow a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid behind my 2026R. It’s too heavy at 4,400lbs but I bought it to tow behind my previous Class A. It tows fine but the combination is a few hundred pounds heavier than I should be.

Do you want a new vehicle or an older one? For newer vehicles the GM small SUVs are mostly flat towable and most are under 4,000#. Pre-2015 Honda CRVs are always favorites for older Toads. For manual transmission drivers the Fiat 500, Mini Cooper and Honda Fit are popular choices.

Oh, just remembered, the Ford Maverick Hybrid pickup is a new favorite these days, too.

Ive seen a sprinter-C towing a 2dr Wrangler before, it had Florida plates and was 20~ hours away.

Thats all I'd tow with a class C.

I towed a 2009 Honda Fit Sport automatic transmission (AT) for 30,000 miles. Unloaded curb weight was under 3,000 pounds. Larger inside than it looked (esp. for tall drivers), it made an excellent rolling storage shed. I also found the front seats comfortable, but not "cushy."

My coach (not Sprinter-based) was near its GVWR but I could load stuff into the toad until I hit the GCWR.

I suspect that AT Fits 2014 or earlier (same as AT CR-Vs) may be towable. Always confirm with the correct owner's manual for a particular model and year.

I tow a 2017 2 Door Fiat 500 with manual transmission.

We tow a 2021 Jeep Cherokee with our 2022 Sprinter 24D. The curb weight on the Cherokee is about 3700 lbs. With gas in it and odds & ends (beach chairs & folding table) it’s a couple hundred lbs heavier. We tow it with empty tanks in the motorhome.

We flat tow a 2024 equinox AWD behind our 2023 View 24V. The curb weight is about 3500#. Be careful, the other similar GM models have a different trans and cannot be flat towed.

Since I didn't want to put excessive strain on the engine and transmission on our 22 View I chose one of the lightest vehicles available in 2022, a Chevy Spark with a curb weight of 2246 lbs.
