You guys know you are dating yourselves if you can recall being trained in school to get under the desk when the siren goes off. That probably stopped circa 1980s. However unfortunately for me, I...

Meanwhile you notice they’re mum on suicide rate, domestic violence, child abuse, etc. I assume that’s because armed with that information it probably wouldn’t fit the required narrative. However...

Chevy 2021 Trailblazer AWD towable 4 down

Hot off the press, it would appear the all new Chevy Trailblazer is towable 4 wheels down according to the manual. Might be a good choice since it’s curb weight is 3200lbs. Only the AWD is though....

The Chevy site says the 2020 Sonic model ignition key is no longer available. Maybe they changed that after 2019. Nevertheless sounds like used would be the requirement regardless which is doable.

Yeah, I figured you must have an older model, probably pre-2015. Which for folks looking now would imply to find a good used model. I’m guessing they have switched all the new models to push button...

Chevy Spark

I’m looking into the Chevy Spark which is an approved towable and weighs in at a paltry 2300lbs roughly. Your issue will be whether the manufacturer approve towing 4 down or on a dolly.

If your model has the automatic leveling jacks, my understanding is those add 200 pounds roughly. I suppose those could be removed in favor of manual jacks. That would buy you some room.
