Re: Is there a vehicle meeting these requirements?
Yeah, I've spent too many hours thinking about how nice an old blazer woudl be in the summer and not towing.
When I asked a question last year about the Blazers some folks thought the wheel base was too short for highway driving in the winter where we have ice.
My guess is the short wheelbase may also be relevant for towing, although I had in mind something relatively light.
Looks like the wrangler has a 10" longer wheel base, but it looks like the first 4 door versions with the longer wheelbase came in 2007 which means they'll be expensive.
My guess is that a suburban would be about as hard to park downtown as smokey is. I assume 4 x 4 means what the wheels can do rather than some kind of shortened rear passenger compartment.
