Toyota Highlander is made with the same frame as the Avalon. It handles like a car also. My wife loves hers. Sorry no pics of wife or highlander.

the boat doesnt look that big/heavy. Wouldn't a Fusion or a Taurus pull it, or does she want something a little less maw maw/corporate?

Only the rear bumper and front badge are dipped black, but I'll sell the original tires and tan dipped steelies with it. That's going to be hard to explain why they're tan. Ugh, yea...I thought it was cool.

I don't want to, but I can't give up the manual 5 series.

the subaru is reliable, fuel efficient and one of the safest vehicles on the road with their innovative awd system.

Damn near any Subaru will tow that small boat and have no issues pulling it out of the launch with all 4 tires grabbing.

That boat is barely any weight at all, and it has a damn nice trailer. I'm sure a Subaru could pull it.

exactly. And the Boxer motors in them are the shite.



Crosstrek is what you want to look at.



They even have it in your favorite color.

You'll definitely be able to wakeskate behind that rig.

Time to break out the Campus again.

For sure. May need to upgrade to something that floats though.

wouldn't she be in the vehicle, not getting towed behind it?

Saw an X3 today and it didn't look like towing was an option.




Towing is definitely an option. You should know that everything is optional on German cars.
