20 Best Family Vehicle For Towing (2023 Updated)

a very nice kit from tamiya , well posted on to me from a German supplier at what was a good price or so i thought having bought from Germany before. i had forgotten we were out of the common market so import duties cost me more, my fault , but i am happy with the kit.

A very well designed model, by a well respected manufacturer, assembly is well described in the comprehensive instructions. A lot of enjoyment to be had building and operating this model.

big build,big truck plenty to keep me occupied for some weeks,one of my best buys would recomend to any 1/14 model truck fan.

Even with the included mounting bracket, the screw holes do not line up with the mount on the vehicle. As the tow package is OEM, advertising that this is an ‘exact’ fit for my vehicle is false. In addition, even if the holes lined up, the included bolts are 5/8″ too short.

I had bought longer bolts before realizing that the holes didn’t line up. I am very dissatisfied with this blatantly false advertising.

I installed on my 2006 Chevy Avalanche. Factory plug fit perfectly. I had to drill through the bumper plate next to the license plate to install. 1 3/4″ drill bit does not allow harness plug to clear in this install format so I had to use a metal file to enlarge the hole.

Harness had four corner fastener locations and allowed a very secure connection to the bumper using the included bolt and nuts. I like that this has separate 4-point and 7-point plug openings. The weather covers are tight and functional.

Great kit, nice price, pretty easy to install with basic tools.

Great value with two different styles of trailer connectors. The connection coming from the vehicle electrical was a perfect fit to install the new unit. HOWEVER, the bracket that holds the connector housing on my Expedition did not accept the holes or mounting bracket that came with the connector.

I drilled two small holes in my existing bracket and then it was a great fit. Even with a little modification needed to mount the connector, I WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Bought it just for the body as I converted it into an rc crawler with my own southern general lee theme. Its very fun.

This large scale Fast & Furious diecast model is incredible. Great detail and unique. If your a Fast & Furious fan, you have to have this truck.

Very nice style for a Tow truck, seems as a model T Hot Rod But it’s a Peterbilt Rig cab over converted into a Hot Rod looking Tow truck Very slick and for the scale size 1:24 Very rare and unique item to add to any type of collection.

First time we went to use it LED lights do not work. I think Road master makes a good tow bar, but I bought this one because I really liked the added safety of the lights on the bar. If I could return it I would, looks like I’m stuck with it.

This tow bar works great and the additional safety feature of the LED strips also provides additional light to see between the car and the RV for taking it off or putting it on at night.

Loving my roadmaster hitch I love the fact that the wires are incorporated inside the hitch nothing hanging very clean love the LED lights and it’s a very robust system

Works well and installation was easy enough. The monitor is small, the description said it was small but still, it’s tiny. The picture is very good, nice and clear. The hitch mode is really not that different than normal mode, either way I’m able to easily connect the trailer and that was my primary goal, perfect for hookup! Well worth the price if it will last and continue to work well.

I have a 2014 Ram 2500 without a backup camera, but I have started doing a lot of camping so I needed to hook up to our travel trailer. I started with a garmin backup camera (as it was wireless and linked directly to our Garmin GPS) and broke two of them in the past year.

I needed a better solution to make hookup on my trailer hitch easier and faster. This worked perfectly, its hard wired but the adaptor to pull power from your existing 7 pin connector is flawless (very amazed other companies still require you to tap into your existing wiring harness) ran the cable through the frame ( used a fish tape) small drill through the floor board and mounted the monitor on in the center of my dash.

I was a bit worried that I may not have enough cable but ended up with about 4′ extra. 2014 Ram 2500 crew cab with 6. 5′ bed. The screen is small, its a pretty clear picture and turns on automatically when I put the truck in reverse.

Great product.

Guys, this thing is so easy to do and includes everything you need. I was looking at swapping out the stereo to an upgraded one, then adding the emblem camera onto the tailgate to the tune of almost 2k.

This is a 10th of the price and can be done in just over an hour, and that’s when you take your time to tie off the cable all along the way. So simple and I hooked up my car hauler in the first attempt when I used it.

Why didn’t I do this sooner!!.

Shipped fast. Install instructions were easy enough to follow. I did watch the YouTube install video to make sure I understood everything. I installed by myself and used a car jack to help hold everything in place while threading the screws.

I attached a five bike hitch rack with no issues. Getting all five bikes on took some patience but everything worked great.

Great, heavy duty trailer hitch. The installation requires using four existing threaded captive nuts on the Odyssey. The threads will be dirty and somewhat corroded so buy a metric tap to clean the threads.

Then it’s an easy install.

It was very well packaged and got here super fast but is so badly bent that the plate steel that bolts to the frame is pointing up about 30 degrees on both sides. Looks like they are both bent slightly inward also.

It’s kind of like a bird with it’s wings back! It’s actually too narrow to even lift into place and this is 6 inch wide 5/16 plate steel. If I wasn’t so disgusted I would be impressed, but my undercoating got scratched up real nice so we will stick with disgusted.

The box is gone because I have never had an issue buying parts from summit. I guess we will take it to the press and see if we can make it right, or just throw it away. Then I can find another way to get my trailer 650 miles home.

I still can’t get over the fact that someone sent it out like this! Thanks guys!.

DO NOT BUY!!!! My son received this tow truck for his bday and he was so happy and excited not many remote control tow trucks out there. Well after putting in new batteries in both the truck and remote, the remote loses connectivity.

I literally have to remove the batteries from the remote for them to sync up again. I have read and seen other reviews and this seems to be the same issue everyone is experiencing. This is frustrating to be taking the batteries out like every 5 mins.

DO NOT BUY!!!!.

My son is going to absolutely love this. First off, this toy is WAY bigger than I was expecting. When I walked out to a 3 foot package from target on my front porch I was pretty confused. My son loves everything trucks and cars and, in my opinion, this tow truck blows his other tow truck toys out of the water.

Not only is it large, it has working lights and sounds, and a lot of moving parts which is great for kids like him who love to figure out how things work. Great value for the price. If you’re thinking about this toy for a kid who loves trucks, think no further.

I included a photo of it on the hood of my car to try to show the size.

My boys are ages 2 and 4 years old and they haven’t put this toy down since they got it. They both adore playing with trucks and vehicles of all kinds but a tow truck is one that we dont have in our collection so I think that its uniqueness is what really draws them to it.

It is realistic and has a hook and pulley system on the back just like a real tow truck and it actually works. The truck makes sounds and you can open the doors and the hood to see the engine inside.

I’m glad to have this set in our collection and I recommend it to any child who loves trucks. So much fun.

My son really like the truck, he loves to play with the truck and with the car attached. The car can move back and forward. The truck has sound that makes the game more realistic and fun. My kid used other brand cars to play with this toy pretending that they are all broken.

For me, the quality isn’t not great but looks like the kids doesn’t care about that. He loves his toy.

My son liked this tow truck and was entertained a few hours. It has a rolling wheel to pull the little yellow car into the tow truck. Unfortunately, the little hook that attaches the cord to the yellow car broke after a few hours after receiving it.

My son still plays with it but he’s not as excited as I thought he was going to be.

This is such a cool little gift ! It is a great stem toy for kids to figure out how to load and unload a vehicle !! It is made well and will definitely endure a kids rough play !! The colors are vivid which draws kids in !! I love the fact of the materials it is made from !! This brand is the best and I’d buy all the toys.

For being called a Steel Classic, this Truck is mostly plastic. The Cab is Steel, but everything else is plastic. I think if it was just called a Tonka Truck, it would make more sense. The wheels spin nicely, the tow arm moves up and down, the latch to keep it up or down works most of the time.

The stickers are almost all placed correctly. But the plastic on the end of the tow arm is a bit weak and when trying to tow other vehicles, a slight bump will drop the load. I think i was just expecting more from a Steel Classics series item.

It feels like a knockoff Tonka, or like it was outsourced to save money.

I was so excited to see the Steel Classic Tonkas available! Having fond memories of the total metal Tonkas we had played with. Well I suppose this is as classic as it will ever get. There still is a lot of plastic features on it, but the tow truck brings such excitement to my grandson and he was not disappointed one bit.

And that is what matters. This is a high quality, well built and no doubt sturdy, long lasting toy. Not as I remember, but much better than any others we have tried that are mostly plastic.

Tonka has done an amazing job with this toy truck. It’s large easy for kids to grasp. Metal design makes it durable , paint is so cute ! The details are realistic and functional. You can actually tow another toy with it.

The wheels are bigger so Roa easy for kids to move it all around in various material.

An excellent construction kit, absorbing and time consuming probably takes about 20 hours to put together. I find these very relaxing to build. Lego was new when I was a child and a light up brick was about as sophisticated as it got.

I dont have the imagination to make something like this on my own but thankfully it comes with very detailed step by step instructions and I have really enjoyed building this. I have previously done the Land Rover & Mack Truck kits.

I’m 80% done with this set, and its really great! It’s my first pneumatic set, so I’m really enjoying the new functions. Personally I wasn’t a huge fan of the look, but I do like it better in person.

I’ve also decided to not apply the more OTT stickers. Not to knock this set, but I do wish I could buy pneumatic parts or other sets on the store. I would def buy this set again.

This truck gives you a lot for the money. Tons of working functions and the pneumatics work great and are fun to play with. The non pneumatic functions seem tedious to play with in comparison, but they are still nice to have and add a lot.

It might seem like a lot of money for a toy truck, but the mechanical nature the of this truck, especially the pneumatics, makes it something really quite special. I’m really impressed with it as an adult and I’m sure my nephew will go nuts when he sees it! Easily one of the best products Lego has released in a long time.

This is a very nice Fire truck. It is a nice size, durable. For those who had problems with the ladder coming off when extended, what I did was put a thread on it so that when fully extended it will not come off.

On real ladders you put rope on them to serve the same purpose. I had a problem finding a building to fit the Fire truck inside. I tried a o scale Plasticville Fire station and the doors were not wide or high enough for the truck.

I have found by asking on line about the o scale Plasticville Airport Hanger is high enough in the center for my purpose. I Highly recommend this product.

Got this for my grandson’s 5th birthday. He loves lego’s and loves this firetruck. He is able to follow the directions himself. Wonderful lego directions. Bought this with the playground set and suggested he put the trashcan on fire in the playground and have the firemen put out the fire and save everyone at the park.

He thought that was a great idea! Walmarts shipping got to my house exactly when it was suppose to!.

This was a gift for my 5 yr old grandson he is just getting into the City Legos. Up until recently he putting together mostly JR Legos. This was perfect for him to start with a small project. I think Legos are great how they start with Duplo and go all the way up to Expert.

I believe they learn alot just mastering following the building plans!.

Out of my 6 kids, 5 of them played with this! My oldest is 16 and obviously didn’t have interest, but my 13yo, 9yo,6yo,4yo and 2yo ALL loved this. They played with this for hours on end. The sounds of this were not loud loud either like most toys.

They only wished that the towing part actually came out to put other cars in it. Other than that, they loved it! I highly recommend this for boys and girls!.

This was not an easy job at all. The exhaust system had 3 connections points that had to be taken off to drop the muffler to have access to mounting the hitch. Drilling the hole was okay and feeding the lugs, washers and nuts was okay.

The heat shield was a real problem as I cut it as shown in Utube videos but it was not enough and the shield was blocking one of the attachment bolts, so snip, snip and I got it in place. The rubber straps to reattach the exhaust system (3) were totally difficult to do especially the two on the muffler.

The tail pipe was okay. I had to lube the rubber fasteners and stretch the hell out of them to reattach. Finally got it. Looks great, works great. Oh year I was NOT on a life but on the ground.

I love this hitch. I was lucky that all the holes on my frame were pre-drilled and made the job very easy. The instructions were really faded so I couldn’t really use them, but I printed out my own from their website and everything went really smoothly.

Only took about an hour and could have done it quicker if I had an impact wrench to take out the old rusted bolts. I was also really lucky that my full size tire still fits up under the bed of the truck.

Just a note, I only had to take one bolt off the frame so the bumper stayed in place for me. The side bumper braces I had to take off so I could get to the bolts, but it was no problem putting them back on.

Arrived in a box – nice! Hitch had one pretty good scratch on it – no worries, touched it up right away with some Rustoleum. Install kit was intact – that’s the main problem I’ve seen with these. Watched a video on YouTube for installing a U-haul hitch (looks exactly like the Draw Tite) on my 2017 Honda CR-V, and was spot on.

Took the gal in the video about 15 mins, took me 2 hrs, but hey, I’m an amateur, don’t have a lift, used jack stands, and was operating upside down under the back of the vehicle the whole time. There’s like 6 steps involved in the install, and each has its “Challenges”.

Overall, a pretty easy install and now we’re set to haul bicycles around!.

I gave the Performance rating a 3 star, because I haven’t actually used it yet, but I have no doubt it will work great, by just looking at it. I’ve built hitches in the past, so I understand how the quality of the product works.

The well-thought-out design and exact fit as well as the well-thought-out directions, made the job pretty darn simple, with a little mechanical understanding. I wasn’t pushing it, or I could have probably finished the job quicker.

Very well satisfied with the product.

This curt hitch was easy to install and although the package arrived with a large hole in the box, the hitch and the attached hardware was still intact and securely taped to the hitch. There were no scratches or blemishes on the hitch.

I had no helper so I used a floor jack to help me lift the hitch into place (not recommended) and it bolted perfectly. Overall I am completely satisfied with this product and with Napa for the fast free shipping!.

Fit well on my 2022 Tuscon PHEV. Only had to remove the back plastic panel. Then slide it up under the exhaust and get the bottom bolt in that side first with the other end propped up on a jack. Took just a bit of banging on the second side to get things lined up, but not much.

I’ve very satisfied with the fit and look of the hitch.

Unlike most other brand hitches that use all 3 threaded OEM mounting holes that are there right from the mfg. for mounting a hitch this only uses 2 of them. This hitch does have three mounting bolts but uses a hole in the frame and a specialized nut that you have to fish through the hole to get it lined up which took extra time.

I think Curt cut corners, used maybe a previous year(s) mount and made it fit the later models with a “cheap” fix, instead of making a mount that uses the 3 OEM threaded holes for even a easier installation.

Other than that it seems well made with a nice finish.

This is an absolutely great product by CURT. And, all I did was brace the middle and I put it up by myself. The only downside was I had to watch a video to learn how to use the reverse fish wire. A little more instruction on that was definitely needed.

But it is all installed now and looks great on my Odyssey. Very low profile.

Received hitch promptly as promised. Hitch was in unopened box and had some scratches which should not have been on it. Careless at factory? This is my third Curt hitch I purchased and installed. Previous Curts were perfect! On my 2020 Odyssey, the exhaust pipe was in the way when tightening and torquing the bolts but can be wedged enough to the side enough to complete the installation.

The foot motion operation on the hatch does not work now because the hitch is shielding the antenna.

My 3 year old son absolutely LOVES this truck! He is a very car and truck obsessed boy, and this toy combines two of his loves. This toy holds his attention for a very long time, he can spend forever simply putting cars in and taking them out of the truck.

He loves that it extends and he is able to get even more cars after extending the truck. It is very a very well made toy, the plastic is a good, thick, well made plastic that feels like it will withstand lots of abuse from a busy little boy! I think that the only negative I have found with this toy is the side compartments on the truck.

My son has trouble opening on their own and has to bring it to me to open. Even I have a bit of difficulty getting them open sometimes. Other than that, though, I absolutely recommend this toy for any child you know that has a love for all things that go VROOOM!.

Wow! This is such a cool toy! We have thousands of hot wheels and my boys usually have a select few they play with daily. Not only is this good for storage, they also have so much fun playing with it.

They can put their favorite cars on the hauler and don’t have to drag the toy box out every time. This is made pretty sturdy. When adjusting the hauler piece it seems made well and will withstand lots of use.

This is a must when you have a ton of hot wheels. The storage is so nice!.

My sons and I are big fans of Hot Wheels, so when they unboxed this Hot Wheels Mega Hauler with Storage for up to 50 cars they were very happy. This hauler has multi levels that fold down/stack on top of each other.

I like the capacity it can hold but it’s a little flimsy so I wouldn’t put the max amount of cars on it. My sons like playing with it as a hauler driving to pick up a few cars to deliver them somewhere else.

After they are done playing we all load up their other Hot Wheels into the Hauler for clean up. It is much more neat then throwing them into a bin or using the Hot Wheels Storage Carrying Case.

My boys love anything with a trailer. When this arrived they ripped it open and started setting up a construction site right away. They loved the detail on the character. It’s nice to find the smaller scale items with the detail and accessories that tend to only come with the large vehicles.

My son loves the 1/64 size and is constantly asking for items in that size to add to his collection, but wants them to have the same stuff as the larger scale items. This fit that bill! I received the product for free through the Mattel Play, Rate & Review Program in exchange for my honest opinion.

The one I received to do as a review its okay. I love the trailer and truck. The other pieces I think could of been a lot better. The surf boards need decals on them or something. They are just red and the sand is bright red also.

The dude laying in the red chair is also red. Needs to break up the colors. The surfer dude is all orange. But he is okay. The wave is cute. I think the parts needs more detail just like the surf truck and trailer.

My almost 4 year old loves playing with these. They are a little smaller than expected and the little people and signs that come with it are VERY small. Definitely heed the 3+ warning. He was a little confused why the cement mixer won’t spin but was super excited when he discovered they connect and he can haul it.

It is also really nice because he can connect and disconnect them himself so he can truly do some independent play and not have to constantly ask for help.

This item is great. i bought it for my nephew for one of his Christmas present. he loved it. perfect size for him ( 3 years old) we love that theres a lock for the top so you dont have to worry about items falling out of the truck when the top is closed.

My great grandson 15 months old has had two of these trucks in less than 4 months and both of them have had the wheels come off. The first one the wheel wouldn’t stay on at all the second one the wheel stays on for a little while it’s not a very good design.

Siku 2545 Scale: 1:55 Dimensions(L/W/H): 23. 6cm X 4. 5cm X 4. 5cm Combination with a Porsche Cayenne Turbo as towing car, with Dethleff’s “Exclusive Emotion” caravan and numerous accessories. The black Porsche Cayenne was further refined with special imprinting technology.

The detailed design includes many features of the Dethleff caravan and extensive lettering on this model making this toy an attractive feature of any collector’s display cabinet. The removable roof is another of the caravan’s special features.

This means the figures supplied with the set can be used for hours of play inside the caravan. In addition to various figures, an almost complete camping set is included, with 2 garden chairs, table, sunshade, sun lounger, hammock and grill.

Siku are the best toy cars available today. They may be more expensive than hot wheels/matchbox but the quality and how long they’ll last makes up for that. You can tell the designers looked at the real car as the detailing accurate.

This particular model has a well detailed porsche cayenne towing a caravan, my only problem with the caravan is its not in scale with the tow car and its so wide it’ll barely fit in existing standard sized playset roads.

It also has a people and a table and chairs to complete the holiday theme.

This set has a lot of detail. The patio set and family are really cute
