Just looking to gather opinions on whether a 2009 VW Routan SE would be sensible to tow a
1964 Bambi II (1950 lbs. dry)? We are currently planning on using the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee for the towing job after installation of an oil and trans cooler, but a very nice Routan showed up for sale in our town for a reasonable price and we are interested. The van would be nicer for our growing family.
Some specs:
- Maximum towing capacity: 3500 lbs.**
- Maximum payload: 1200 lbs.**
- Gross weight: 5707 lbs.
I know Ace is towing his
Caravel with a Grand Voyager...I think the Routan would do the job if we pack lightly. Any thoughts out there as we are considering this option?
Thanks-
Ben
