2009 Vue AWD 3.5L towing L200

EdH · 01-23-2022, 08:42 AM

I'm leaving NJ for Florida end of may early June. I have the listed Vue above and my trusty '01 L200. I do not want to sell either vehicle and want to tow the L200. I have a new transmission in the Vue and I am installing a 11X6"B&M Trans cooler. Once I get through VA the landscape is pretty much flat but for overpasses. Will I able to tow my L200 without too much trouble? every thing I have read online says 3500 lbs max weight. Thanks in Advance

Owner's manual should explain towing front wheel drive. My L300 was towed with front wheels off the ground recently. My guess is this is one way but towing privately would probably use tow dollies under each front wheel. I don't know if other methods are used at low cost. Car carrier is next up in costs.

Understood. Just looking to see if anyone with experience can give me some background. Guess I'll just have to get a dolly and do a test tow now before time to go
