I have a 16' Tracker, total weight (per scale) 1860#, tongue weight 250#.
My 2015 Subaru Forester with 100K miles labors when towing, with a safe trailer weight of 1,500#, so I'm overweight.
Ideally, I'd like to replace the Forester with a similar (good mpg) SUV but with a better tow capacity. Any recommendations or bad experiences? Perhaps a Kia Sorento or Jeep Latitude... or ?
Your main concern is to only the towing capacity, but also the braking capacity. Perhaps even more important. If you can't stop that puppy, you are in deep dodo. I would do a lot of research, and get rid of that Forester. (MHO)
