It would tow fine just put a hitch on it.My 04 mustang v6's owner manual says that you cannot tow. Hmm.
I mean it is a v6 with manual gearbox. So why should it not tow?
That's not cheap if his tow car is his commuter the rest of the time. Planning the perfect vehicle purchase around a 0.1% usage scenario is always going to end up wasting money (I'm looking at you, off-road and 'track day special' commuters).Standard car would be preferable.
The ultimate cheap travel will be the most fuel efficient v8/turbo 4 SUV that you can sleep in, but also tow an enclosed trailer for your bike and travel gear.
Tow rating is alway higher on the auto version on trucks not sure if that may apply to cars as well.Standard car would be preferable.
Otherwise, automatics may have more opportunity to heat up and cause troubles, assuming you don't install an auxiliary transmission cooler.
Might I suggest a wagon so you can sleep in the back and still tow?

My F150 V8 uses 13L/100km with a bike in the back. My subaru forester uses around 9L/100km just driving unloaded. I use 19-21L/100 pulling a 22 foot trailer with a bike in the truck bed. But on a day to day use the Subaru will save me more, but if needed the truck has more uses but will cost me in the long run, but that is why I have a motorcycle :walk:
