best car to tow behind a motorhome australia

The “best” car to tow behind a motorhome in Australia is the one the manufacturer explicitly approves for flat towing (A‑frame).

Look for a true Neutral in a dual‑range transfer case or a simple manual gearbox, sensible kerb weight, and a setup that keeps you within your GCM.

• Jeep Wrangler: Pros—transfer case with proper Neutral and widely supported for flat‑towing; Cons—heavier and the tyres aren’t exactly pocket change.
• Suzuki Jimny (manual): Pros—light, cute, and capable; Cons—manufacturer approval varies by year, and payload is modest, so double‑check the owner’s manual.
• Older Suzuki Vitara/Grand Vitara (dual‑range): Pros—proper transfer case; Cons—condition varies and not every model is approved—verify first.

National trailer rules apply: brakes over 750 kg and breakaway braking over 2,000 kg, and the towed car must be road‑legal and insured.

Confirm with the owner’s manual and your state road authority, get an accredited installer for the A‑frame, wiring and auxiliary braking, then browse Tradingpost for candidates.
