How much you looking to tow? The CX-9 is only rated for 1500 or 2000 I believe. A lot of the cross overs top out at 3500. ---

I’ll ask again… what are you towing? Hard to comment on your tow vehicle selection without knowing what you’re towing. A jet ski, anything will work. A tandem axle car trailer + car and none of them will work well or last very long, the exception being the Acadia since you can get it close to a 5k rating. How often will you tow? Once or twice a year you can get close to the limit or a little over and probably be fine. During the summer I tow at least twice a week, so I bought something more than capable so I wasn’t wearing parts out real fast. ---

I am going to purchase a new trailer (alum)(1550lbs)(18’car trailer). I tow about once a week (racecar) some times more (depends on how many pmz i have to pull other stuff). I will have a new racecar and it will be under 2k. the question was to get an over all “feel” “if any one had them, and if they did they tow with it.” NOT WHICH ONE SHOULD I GET. PS i have a Superduty right now. and my father has a 3500. I wanted to know if any one has towed with either. ---

I bet its going to be difficult to find someone that actually tows with one of those… They look pretty sweet though, next to a turbo forrester that would be my next choice for a cool grown up vehicle. ---

If you’re towing 3500lbs + tools and support stuff for a race car at least once a week the word “crossover” shouldn’t be in your vocabulary IMHO. ---
