Well, IMHO your tow vehicle is the limiting factor. I bought a 2008 Toyota 4Runner last year thinking this would be my tow vehicle if I ever decided to upgrade to a TT. After researching extensively, the short wheel base of the SUV strictly limits the length of TT you can pull. Based on a 110" wheelbase, my research indicated 21ft was absolutely the longest I could pull, but smaller would be safer. Also, you have to look at your TV GVWR. A lot of the SUV's only have about 1200lbs for cargo. So, once you add fuel, tongue weight, passenger weight and anything you carry in the TV, you're over your limit. Additionally, you only want to tow 75% of rated value. I ended up with a Feather 165 Sport that is about 16', 2850 curb weight, 3500 loaded. With a WDH, I feel pretty stabile and it tows well. If you don't like a truck, I had good luck with a Chevy conversion van V-8. What ever you choose, make sure to research the wheel base limits. Kind regards, Doug
