  • Hybrid Toad

    From Mike Van Pelt@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 4 21:17:14 2024
    I'm possibly going to be looking for a new car for my wife.
    A hybrid, or better, plug-in hybrid.

    Are there any hybrids that can be flat towed? A dolly
    or trailer is seriously Not Happening; come to that,
    I'll just keep towing the Jeep. (I'll want to tow the
    Jeep anyway if there's any chance we'll be wanting to
    do any Jeep trails.)

    As I've found from asking elsewhere, apparantly the Ford Escape
    Hybrid is flat towable. (As always, verify in owners manual.)

    They talk of the Escape here in case you haven't seen this page yet.
    Also has a list of flat-towable vehicles
