 I use this car for everything including towing a 2,000 lb Casita trailer.I have driven several times the length of Baja California with the trailer.The car tows the trailer very well, and there is plenty of power for towing on steep, prolonged mountain passes or for passing.You hardly know the trailer is there.Towing or not, the car consistently gets several MPG better than my former Honda 2004 Odyssey.However, note that MPG GOES DOWN VERY FAST AS YOU INCREASE HIGHWAY SPEED OVER 65 MPH, as you would expect due to wind/tire resistance.The car handles extremely well, great suspension.The only problem encountered is with the small start battery, which frequently goes dead.
