Tow vehicle fit for a new 178?

Help! I'm going to launch myself into the R-pod world and get a 2016 178. My Nissan Sentra won't quite get the job done so I'm in search of an appropriate tow vehicle. Here's the deal:

Ditto on the SUV w/factory tow package advice.  I strongly advise you to get one that is rated to tow at least 5,000 lbs.  More would be better.  In my 25 years of towing campers, I have always had vehicles that were rated for more than my campers, yet I have often found myself wishing I had more power, and have ended up upgrading my TV.

Since the R-pod has electric brakes, make sure your TV has the seven-pin connector next to the receiver in the back.  Hopefully, it will also have a plug-and-lay receptacle for the brake controller (which you will have to have).  Some pickups come with a built-in brake controller, but I'm not aware of that with any SUVs.  I may be wrong. 

You'll likely want to get some sort of sway control.  Depending on your vehicle, you may need a weight-distributing hitch.  Many WDHs have built-in sway control.  Talk to the dealer you purchase the Pod from.  They may include on in the sale price, or at least discount it and install it for you. 

As far as leasing vs. buying, I'm not a fan of leasing.  The numbers don't usually work in favor of the lessee.  I typically buy something used, often one that is only a year or so old (usually a program vehicle) that still has a few months and a few thousand miles of warranty left. 

that's a good one!

Thanks so much, really helpful advice. It's only going to be a couple weeks and I'll be up and running. I laugh to myself when I see people say how they've researched/thought about it for a year or more because I can hardly plan a month ahead. Research, thinking, etc, one month and I'm on it. I've written down everything you all have helped with and I'm now more informed. Great links to those two articles as well, thanks.
