Smallest vehicles to tow a Side x Side with?

>getting a side by side
Just buy a buggy it's alot less money and a hell of alot more capable

I've lugged around a 1.8 ton trailer full of music equipment on icy mountain roads and on rough farmland with a 2013 Outlander 2.2 diesel

I'm sure it'll be fine, but if you do this often it might be a better idea to look at a truck or bigger SUV

A lot less reliable, I know a lot about VW platform buggies and sand rails. They're aren't the right tool for the job in my case.

Now if I was going to Glamis, that's a different story than forest trails

I'd stay away from a crossover, just because it has a certain towing capacity dosent mean it can tow that much comfortably alot of crossovers don't have soild rear axle
Parents used to have a yukon and it could pull a 10 foot trailer with 2 bikes an atv and random camping shit no problem for hundreds of miles

Why dont you buy a cheap suzuki samurai instead of getting an overpriced toy? You can drive it to where you need it and use it then drive it back.

probably a tacoma with the towing package, or comparable mid size truck. my regular cab tacoma is "rated" for 3500lbs but actually hauling a 3500lb trailer can is a white knuckle experience on anything but straight and flat. I dont think some 3k rated crossover would be a much better experience.

I thought about it, and also looked into a Jeep. Trackers, and Isuzu's.

I'd like to see a street vehicle go across whoops and rocks at 40 MPH. Ground clearance is another issue with the areas my family frequents.

Streets vehicles are for the street. I doubt they even make proper tires for the little sizes Samurai's use.

I see these side x sides for cheap compared to properly built small-4x4's.

I'm curious if you have ever driven a RZR

Dude why do you want a rzr? Turn a Ranger into a Baja racer. Or just buy a raptor.

Exactly, there is no standard for determining towing capacity, it's more or less made up...anything unibody is going to be terrible. You want the heaviest and longest toe vehicle you can get.
