You could always go with a Sequoia or Tundra with a shell! After having so many Toyota's go over the 1/4 million mile mark and never need a major repair, there's not much out there I really trust outside the Toyota label. Especially, even though you won't be driving your rig, you'll still be putting miles on some of the drive train whilst towing it.Richard, no worries... our life is a little unique and complicated so, let me try to outline it: our entire 8 year marriage my wife and I have lived in a private tour bus because I'm a career singer. I get contracts to sing for christian events all over the country. We have always flat towed the LC and have enjoyed it immensely though we've only taken it off road twice the entire time we've owned it. We had a baby girl two years ago and that started to cramp things in the cruiser a little. I have to carry my audio gear and full 70 lb, 88 key keyboard and guitar in the back and used the cargo area and second row seats to do this. We are now due with our second little one in February so with two car seats and all the gear I need a more massive SUV that I can flat tow behind the coach that has some level of AWD/4WD capabilty, so it's coming down to a 2015 Ford Expedition EL. 21mpg on the Hwy and we've measured it and it will actually hold everything behind the third row mainly because it's wide enough to contain my keyboard and guitar width wise instead of hovering over the second row seats which is unsafe. Cruiser has to go, I don't own a home and have nowhere to put it sadly. I've Krown Rustproofed it twice and it kills me to sell it but life changes and for now I'm having to be practical until the kids are older or my life career adjusts.

Hummm.... I'd stay with Toyota... Just my two pennies worth.
