As many Australians turn to backyard travelling<\/a> instead of overseas adventures during COVID-induced uncertainty, towing vehicles have become increasingly popular assets in the second-hand market. For families with caravan-shaped dreams, finding a towing vehicle is a matter of both safety and comfort. There are cars in every shape, size and towing capacity in the Australian market to suit every need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, the best cars for towing are either full-size 4×4 utes or wagons with a turbo-diesel engine and automatic transmission. Other features to look for are trailer sway control functions and a reversing camera<\/a> with guidelines that make easy work of lining up your tow ball and trailer. And most importantly, choosing a towing vehicle to accompany a caravan depends on ensuring your car isn\u2019t maxing out its weight limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re on the hunt for one of these versatile commodities, Prices People Pay have put together a list of the top five best towing vehicles. <\/strong>From 4x4s to wagons with turbo-diesel engines, these are the best car purchases for those with towing needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
