    Best Used SUV's to Tow 5k# and Seats Fold Flat For Surfboards?

    Rob Wrote: We have a 2016 Pilot AWD. Although it is rated to tow 5,000 lbs. provided it has the transmission cooler, it is pushing it to approach that number. I had a '10 Pilot for 9 years before it died in July. No problem towing the 208. I'll add them to my list again.

    Best Used SUV's to Tow 5k# and Seats Fold Flat For Surfboards?

    Located in MA. I am currently looking at Pathfinders ('16-'20). The rating towing capacity is 6k so the specs say. Only problem is, the seats don't fold down much...Also Tahoes/Suburbans but they are monsters! All suggestions were and are appreciated.

    Best Used SUV's to Tow 5k# and Seats Fold Flat For Surfboards?

    Too Short to See Over Windshield! Step Suggestions?

    On a similar note, I can't find small tubes of contact cement for small jobs up here in MA, only half pint and above. Is it like a huffing thing? I get "carded" when I get the pint. I thought that went out in the 70's...
