This isn’t quite a wtb thread. Unless it turns into one I guess.
I have gotten my hands on a drift boat. The problem is I don’t have a vehicle to tow it with yet. We’re needing to upgrade to a bigger family car anyway, though.
The tentative plan is to go the Subaru route. Outback or Forester maybe? I have friends who tow their drift boats with their Subarus successfully. And they make sense as a good general midsize family car for people living in the city (Tacoma in my case).
Feel like I’m kinda just following the crowd, though. Curious to hear others’ thoughts on good options if you care to share.
Requirements in no particular order:
- easy to get baby in and out of carseat
- used not new
- good car camping adventure wagon
- decent fuel economy
- can tow a drift boat
- not too expensive used (I know the market is still pretty bad. The point of this bullet item is that we can’t afford a super fancy rig)
- reasonably low maintenance (this one’s kind of obvious I guess. The point being I am not good at / do not enjoy working on cars)
Appreciate any thoughts or advice!
