Dinghy Towing

2014

Whether you want economy, style or utility, this year’s

crop of dinghy towables offers something for everyone

by Chris Hemer

he practice of towing a vehicle four-

wheels-down behind a motorhome is still

the most convenient way for owners to

get around once they’ve reached their destina-

tion. Rather than breaking camp every time you

need to leave the RV park or campsite, simply

jump in your car and drive o, just like you

would at your home.

In the early years, only a handful of manu-

facturers recognized the practice, and most

could only verify a few models as being tow-

able. With each passing year, however, more

manufacturers are recognizing the benets of

dinghy towing, and are becoming more active

in approving their vehicles. As a result, there

are more choices now than ever, and also a lot

more variety — from fuel sipping compact cars

and hybrids to full-size pickups and SUVs.

You’ve probably noticed that there are

other vehicles out there being dinghy towed

that aren’t on our list, and you may have won-

dered why. To put it simply, the vehicles in our

guide must be approved by the manufacturer

for dinghy towing in order to qualify. That

means the manufacturer has conrmed that

its vehicle can be dinghy towed without

causing damage to the drivetrain or otherwise

voiding the warranty. Second, the vehicle

must be towable without requiring signicant

mechanical modication (such as disconnect-

ing the driveshaft, for example). Finally, the

vehicle must be towable at a speed of at least

55 mph for no fewer than 200 miles before

some sort of prescribed startup procedure is

required to circulate uid through the trans-

mission and/or transfer case.

You’ll note that some vehicles will appear

and disappear from the list every year, and

that’s largely because of changes to the vehicle

and/or its drivetrain. In other instances, a

manufacturer may not have had time to test

a new vehicle’s dinghy towing worthiness in

time for last year’s guide, and has since deter-

mined that the vehicle is towable.

Keep in mind that we’ve made every eort

to check, and double check with each manufac-

turer to make sure that the listings are correct

and current. However, much of the informa-

tion we receive is preliminary when the guide

is compiled, and can change by the time this

issue goes to press. Therefore, we cannot stress

enough that you check with the dealer to be

certain that the vehicle you are considering is

dinghy towable. Ask to see a copy of the owner’s

manual; somewhere in the index, there should

be a notation for “recreational,” “four-down,”

or “at” towing. If the owner’s manual states

that the vehicle is not towable, consider some-

thing else, or be prepared to modify the vehicle

and probably void any stated warranties.

With all that being said, let’s take a look at

some of the new at-towable oerings for 2014.
