Ok, I'm completely new to this...
Anyways, I am looking to purchase a MB Sprinter Class C (or at least most are Class C, I think Winnebago has a Class A version) but I need to flat tow something. Most of the Sprinters I've looked at have 188hp (diesel) and about 300 lb of torque. I've sort of narrowed it down to either a Fiat 500 (manual as autos aren't towable) and a Jeep Wrangler. Most of the specs on Sprinter RVs say 5000 lbs is ok, but of course less may be better too. The Jeep, empty weighs about 3800, the Fiat closer to 2500. But I think the Wrangler would be more fun. The Jeep I'm looking at is a two door "soft-top" manual transmission and doesn't have much in the way of options. So it weighs less than many of the ones out there, although it is still a 1,000 lb (or more) heavier than the Fiat. I might consider something else too, but I have found a couple of these two used ones that are "reasonably" priced and not located too far away. The Wrangler is also more expensive.
Opinions?
