Who said anything about the back of an F150? Thought we were talking about towing. I've never tried to tow an appliance, must be some kind of party trick.

All kidding aside, the only point I was trying to make is your suburban is better suited for towing not only because it has the power to handle so much weight, but because it's not so much smaller than the camper or boat or refrigerator compared to a small sedan, less drag and less stress on the motor.

Again, never said a sedan couldn't or even shouldn't tow. Just pointing out there are other factors to consider.

I was thinking about a simple aluminum fishing boat. Not a deep sea troller. And my mention of appliances, F-150s, etc. was in reference to using a small utility trailer for hauling bulky items. Such as refrigerators. Not particularly heavy, but too large to stuff in your trunk...
