I spoke to an RL owner at the lake who towed 2 jet skiis. He said it was no problem and that he liked to tow in style! This is in So Cal - hot and hilly terrain.

You CAN tow it, I just wouldnt recommend it. Why not a dedicated towing vehicle? Used Tacoma or something similar

Because some people don't want to drive around in a commercial vehicle whose main use is for gardeners, pool cleaners and painters.

You're just offended because you live in Tacoma.

Does everyone who lives in Tacoma have to drive a Tacoma?

If that's the case, I'd hate to live in Tahoe, even though it's the most beautiful place on earth... or worse, in New York! (Chrysler New Yorker? Ugh...) or worse yet... SEDONA....

Well its main use is utility and that includes towing. I would never tow anything on a unibody platform (Honda Ridgeline excluded)
