I'm looking for a new car and I am torn between conflicting needs. On one hand 99% of the time I need a small urban commuter, on the other hand I need a car to tow my Day Sailer and gear to events around the country. All of the 6 cyl. wagons, SUv's, Minivans of course meet the towing needs, but are a little hard on the gas or larger than needed for daily use.
I am curious about people using 4 cyl. engines ( aprox 2.4L 160HP)to tow 1050lb boat,trailer,equipment. If I get a new aluminum trailer I could get the tow weight under 950lbs.
Thanks for your opinion.
