I'm not interested in any thing but the FJ Cruiser or Edge/MKX at this point. Thanks for you opinion on the Edge. Do you think it's suspension will be adequate enough to support a ~100lbs tongue weight without having a droopy ass end?

I'm almost certain they're FWD unless you get the optional AWD. And yes, the FWD model gets 2MPG higher. I really want the re-assurance of having AWD or 4WD though; for two reasons, the first because AWD is better in the snow and the second because I will be driving off of paved surfaces frequently in the spring/summer/fall months. As I've said before, my Dad has been doing it for years successfully with just FWD, but I want the piece of mind AWD or 4WD offers.
