Thanks Bob. Not sure I can afford the upgrade and I think the gas is bad on
that. I am looking at Mid weight SUV's . Folks have told me the Nissan
Pathfinder, Chevy Blazer maybe or Ford Escape. I have to do some research. I
am reckoning on needing to tow about 3,600Ibs do you reckon including
trailer ? Dan
