We have been towing our Rpod with our 2008 Jeep Liberty, and it did a "OK" job of it. I've spoken to a lot of people with a Liberty, both on this forum, and other places, and we all have the same opinion - it works, but nobody really recommends it. There just isnt enough "oomph" in the 3.7 V6 engine for anything but a nice flat tow, and thats not why we bought our Rpod.  I wanted to go with a pickup and V8 engine, but I was out-voted by the wife (it's her car when we aren't towing). We also didn't want anything too large for just the two of us, like an Expedition or Tahoe. After months of debate and online research, we finally decided to trade in on a new Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.7 Hemi V8. We got the tow package and enough gizmos to keep us both happy. We've had it two weeks and 1800 miles (an unplanned emergency trip), and we're very happy with the choice. I've had a chance to tow with it, and what a difference. That big Hemi barely knows the Pod is back there. Now I won't have any issues hitting the mountains or travelling down the interstate. I really haven't had a major tow adventure yet, so I can't comment on the gas, but I'm sure it will be the same as our Liberty. BTW, when we don't tow, the Hemi drops 2 cylinders when not needed, so we are getting the same 22-24 mpg mileage average that we got in the Liberty. Not bad for a heavier vehicle. We will be meeting up with my brother and his family in Myrtle Beach SC this weekend(about 3 1/2 hrs away) so I'll really be able to check it out. There are a lot of great TVs available out there, but if you are thinking about getting a new one, you might want to add this one to your list.

Congrats on your TV, too. I know what you mean about the mountains - we are planning on heading that way ourselves next month. We really liked the Liberty, I just didn't like having to route our trips to avoid major highways ( too much speed and fuel for the V6) and hills. Now I will feel confident wherever we go. From what I've been reading, my gas economy should be about what the Liberty was anyway. We shall see.

Congrats on the Jeep.  We also just moved from a 2009 Liberty but decided to go with the big truck as we also pull a boat and a trailer for the horses, not to mention hay, feed, and whatever else.  Our new F20 is a monster when it comes to towing (rated for 12.5k#) so the Pod is almost a bit too light.  Also love the 6 speed tranny, lower RPMs=higher MPG.  Happy podding!
