Technical Flat Tow Questions

Eek. Ok. I'm scared and I'm running away. So it appears I'm stuck with a 2015 Ford Expedition... they can flat tow, and it has the room we need for our family.

Have you considered pre-2015 Honda CRV's
or a Ford Flex ?

what are you going to do with 365hp ?

i think the 8v92 has spoiled you

Lol. CRV is too small, Ford Flex is also too small. I have to haul Audio Equipment and my family. That includes a full 88 key 70lb keyboard.

We have came a long way in 20 plus years " so were" shutting cylinders down to be Eco again.
I understand there is a bit more in the head nowadays, please i wished they would just give me the tax savings and send me a check. I will try to get off the go pedal ; )

Scott:Type "dingy towing guide "into your search engine and this should get you some good info.There are darned few automatics that you can tow .Jeep is about the only tow and go listed anymore and only certain ones of them.If you are willing to change gears ,that would open up a lot more opportunity's.

Hi bigred, yeah we've decided on a Ford Expedition.. explicitly states they can be flat towed...

Hey Scott With a Keyboard that heavy you might want to get a smaller computer!

Glad I could help...

Even funnier. I sort of thought it was true. Being a sheltered west coastie, I thought they y'all out in the heartland still go to drive ins and drink beer.

with an 88 pound keyboard i figured hauling an appropriate monitor around would be prohibitive
