Proof that what we call "minimum" is actually overkill ... Or maybe not! LOL

I towed a 3800lbs car on a single axle open trailer with a Jeep Liberty ... and it wasn't fun at all. I did not dare go over 50mph as it would start swaying. Good thing it was only for a 20mi round trip.
Heeheh bro with this KIA I towed my Porsche for more than 800KLM 500miles and with a speed of 135KM/H it was max acceleration it wasn’t fun yes but I did it (7amdillah) do u want more pix I towed it from Kuwait to Bahrain and towed the trolley free from Bahrain to Kuwait...
and Dave actually they offered me a good cheap offer for transportation approximately 1000$ but towing is new experience and some other reasons like I was afraid to give it to a tow company and in Kuwait and Saudi board they ask them to unload the vehicle and with no experience they'll crack or break some thing and will coast me more....

excellent suggestion. Right now Excursions are being thrown away for ridiculously cheap prices

However, Excursions do use quite a bit of gas. Not something I think the OP is looking for in a daily.

The V10 gasser drinks like there's no tomorrow, but the diesel isn't so bad. I think the guys are seeing 20mpg.
