Towing rav4 behind rv.

If you prefer to tow your car with 2 or 4 wheels up or you already have a car that cannot be towed four down the best option is a tow dolly or trailer. The rav4 is my everyday car with 220k miles. 20k tow miles without and issue. I m just trying to find a way to tow this 01 rav4 awd which weighs 3104 so i found myself a car hauler at a decent price and now some guy is saying that it will be too much weight to pull behind my rv.

So now i m running around my lovely online numbers to find out how much weight i can pull. Toyota has used dynamic torque vectoring thorsen differential on several of it s awd vehicles for years and none of them were approved for towing behind a motorhome in any form. These conveyances allow rvers to tow just about any vehicle behind their motorhomes. The alternative is flat towing also called four down towing or dinghy towing it involves attaching a tow bar to a suitable car suv or pickup and letting the vehicle roll along behind the rv.

But these are all sturdy cars that are capable of towing campers. There are a lot of different models within the toyota rav4 class and each one has slightly different specifications. Towed in neutral with the acc on to run the brake buddy. I have a 2003 toyota rav4 with standard transmission that i have been towing behind my 30 foot class c since new.

The next best models would be 4 wheel drives with manual locking wheel hubs and a manual transmission. No it cannot be dolly or 4 down towed as is. The cars most suitable to tow behind your rv are manual transmission ones. This post was edited 03 30 18 09 50am by lryrob9301.
