fuel efficient tow rig Anonymous 2017-08-06 10:44:41 Post No. 17675032 [Report]

I have a 2016 Genesis Coupe, and as much fun as it is, I don't drive it as much as my bikes. and recently my brother totalled out my GMC Sonoma that i had been using to transport them. I'm getting nothing from him or insurance, and out of keeping peace in the family I'm choosing to not go after him. That being said, I no longer have a vehicle to pull trailers with or throw motorcycles in the back of. With how much I honestly drive my Genesis, I've been thinking about trading it in anyways, but now I'm looking for something else. I'm not looking for brand new, but i was wondering what other people have for this purpose. I'm kinda leaning away from a pickup, and more towards like a Subaru Crosstrek. To me it seems like a fuel efficient daily, and it can tow as much as I'd really care to. I know they're kinda gutless, but is that going to be heavily magnified by pulling 1000 pounds? Enough to be concerned about that is? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Pic of truck

Unloaded, Subaru's aren't knowing for good gas mileage. It's really going to go to shit towing a 1000lbs. A base model 4 cylinder rwd Colorado probably gets similar mpg's.

Have you considered a Honda Ridgeline?

Kinda gutless in a understatement, the Crosstrek is almost a full second slower 0-60 than a Prius.

Ridgeline is cash. Terrible gas mileage though. I idle'd alot (sit in the truck for work) and got around 18mpg. Best appliance I ever owned.

I hear the new one is much better and looks far less retarded.
