Tow vehicle question
Will be interesting to see how the new Yukon and XL tow with that new duramax 3L diesel they’re offering.
Also of note, the shorter tongue and folding tower on the Supras make a huge difference when towing. I got 14 mpg towing a friends 2020 SA from Cincinnati to Columbus. That same route with my Craz is about 11mpg. Yukon handled it like a champ though, nowhere near the squat I expected.

OK, about to pull the trigger on a 2019 Expedition. I have several options but I have a question, I'm not a wheels and tires guy so what is the performance difference between 18's and 22's. The two that I have locked in on have this as one of several option package differences. I know most of you will say the 22's look better and I agree but from a towing point of view any difference?
Thanks - D

20s are probably the best towing option. The smaller the rim the more side wall flex you will get which can contribute to an unstable feeling in the rear end. 22s dont provide enough side wall when the tire is compressed due to the extra load. 20s to me are the best bet, more side wall than a 22 for more cushion between the road and rim and less sidewall than an 18 to help the rear end feel more planted.

Anyone considering a Land Rover Defender 110 as a tow vehicle? It has a 8200 Ilbs tow capacity.
I'm really struggling to find a family vehicle that can be used to tow my newlfy purchased 2019 SA. The tow to the lake is only 5 miles so will probably not do any road trips with it. My wife does not like Ford so has limited my options.

LR Defender didn’t do too bad in the gold standard Ike gauntlet towing test.
Should do just fine for your SA

Anyone towed an SA with 2016-2020 tundra. I have a 2017 1794 with a 3” leveling kit, 33x12.5r20. It strained with my travel trailer off the start and on grades, but was otherwise fine.
CFO and I went to look at an SA this weekend and she has concerns. She gave the ok to trade her car for a larger truck. I don’t want to deal with diesel issues, so looking at ram 2500 gas, but I don’t think I’ll need it. Opinions?2020 SA 450 Wife calls it White Cloud. Said it makes her feel "Classy"
