Choosing a Car for Tow Capacity and Daily Driving
Tom and Ray advise selecting a vehicle with adequate towing room for 2100 pounds, not maxing out your current SUV. They emphasize gradual driving, 60 to 65 mph, and proper maintenance including oil changes and synthetic oil if needed, to protect the engine and drivetrain during heavier towing.
