#1 of 3 Used minivans and towing by doglover12 Mar 15, 2009 (3:48 pm)
I read the forums on best used minivan and best stowage (seems to be stow-n-go models), but could not find my question. I am looking at the 2006-2008 Chrysler, Dodge, Toyota, and Honda. Have three dogs in travel crates and want to tow a pop-up camper. Which van seems to combine the better ability to tow and haul cargo when needed?

Replying to: doglover12 (Mar 15, 2009 3:48 pm) My brother tows a popup behind his Odyssey. Before that he towed it behind his Grand Caravan. I think just about any of the vans would work ok for that duty but minivans seem hard on transmissions in general, so finding one that had a towing package may be helpful. Or maybe you should find one without a towing package so you know the owner didn't tow. Then you could think about adding an auxillary cooler.

The 06+ Sedona will town 3,500 lbs with trailer brakes no additional equipment needed. This is impressive.
