Default What kind of truck do I need?
I recently got an ATV and got it running good. Got no way to tow it though. Gonna sell my civic wagon and get a cheap truck. I've never owned a truck or towed anything so it's all new to me.

After a while, I'd be getting a second ATV and a trailer to haul it with. Would a 4cyl, i.e. Frontier, B2200, Ranger be strong enough for that? Or should I be looking at V6's?

I don't see why a 4 cylinder couldn't handle it, I've seen civics towing boats

Dude, you have a Civic Wagon. Get a small trailer, rig up a hitch, and then tow that ----.


God I miss having a wagon. I want one again just as much, if not more, than I want a CRX.
