Looking for New Toad

<< < (2/3) > >>

John Hennessey:
Caution on the Saturn Vue  I have a Vue with an AWD and VTI transmission.  Any model with all wheel drive can not be towed without a dolly.  Those with the VTI transmission are a real problem.  The transmission on mine has been rebuilt 3 times and I am on now on a totally new transmission in approx 110000 miles. GM paid for my transmission woes but now that GM has eliminated liability through bankruptcy the transmission problem is not theirs anymore.

Jerry Carr:
I have an 07 Vue Hybrid with 40,000 tow miles and it's been a great tow. It takes me a about 3 min. to fully hook up. I have never had any issue with the transmission. I think after the 07 year a modification was made  

Andy Clark:
Thanks for all the inputs, guys.

The search is on.

First time on forum..here goes..in April bought 05 Beaver Marquis Onyx and 12 Cadillac SRX-4 toad..all you do is run engine in park..turn ignition off..lift shifter sleeve..depress button..shift to neutral..hmm..actually that's quite a lot but not as many steps as some toads need..it's fairly small and light but fairly expensive..anyway hope this helps somewhat.

Steve Adams:
Andy,

We tow an 08' Honda Element Automatic AWD. Even though the owners manual says you cannot tow 4 wheels down you can by following the procedures for the same model year Honda CRV as they have the same engine and transmission. In five years of towing we have had zero problems and really like the car. Decent mileage and can haul a ton of stuff or 4 people.

Good luck, Steve
