My mom and I are looking for a vehicle for her that can tow her 17' boat on the weekends and can also get her good mpgs to the store etc. during the week. She has been looking at older jeep cherokees and explorers. Post up what you have or if you know of anything around town. Looking under $5k and newer than 1999 if possible. Thanks

Cheap, tow vehicle, and good on gas? Sounds like a unicorn. -
Honestly jeeps dont get good milage. Newer trucks do but not cheap. Gotta decide whats needed. A boat that small probly could be draged behind a jeep. Station wagon. I think a guy on here had a silverado forsale not long ago. Might wanna check it out.sigpicComment

Jeeps have the worst suspension for towing. I pull my 18ft boat, and cars all the time with my s10 blazer no problem.Comment

I looked at an older dodge ram magnum but he said t oonly got like 16 mpg. Something that does 20 would be good. How's the s10 blazer on gas?Comment

Look for a clapped out 300K mile 2WD 12 valve cummins. 20+ MPG, cheap, reliable

Unless you buy a 1991-1996 Buick Roadmaster or Chevy Caprice with a 5.7. They both have a towing capacity of 5000lbs.Originally posted by Curt_irocz View PostWestern Michigan Camaro Club ~ President
