Towing or not towing, that is the question. We've done both, Winnebago Class A diesel pusher, 40 feet long, three slides, a rolling one bedroom apartment. Flat-towing a 2004 Jeep Wrangler LJ on 35" tires, down MX15 toll road to Lake Chapala Mexico (very expensive amount of tolls with two vehicles!). The Jeep came in handy, not for it's off-roading prowess, 4.5" lift, lockers, etc., but that it moved. The small towns north of the lake were separated by a two-lane road, great, got the Jeep! However, the little towns themselves, Ajijic, Chapala, Jocotepec, didn't lend themselves well for a big four wheeler. But, you find a place to park, usually a one-way street, and then walk. Sold the Winnebago, and now have the Saurer, took it to Baja, no Jeep, no bikes, nothing. Saved a lot of money on the trip from not locating to RV Parks, beaches and more beaches. Save for 10 days in an RV park in Loreto; great little town, mini-brewery on the square, ugh, could have stayed there a month or more. Fuel mileage on the RV and the Saurer are about the same, minus the 10mph average higher speed the RV could do, towing the Jeep. Oh well, can't park the RV on the beach! This fall, more Baja, but, with fat-tire electric bikes, a Porta Bote folding boat we'll attach to the side of the vehicle; powered by oars and an electric trolling motor. Bought salt-water big rig surf fishing gear, and we'll bring our smaller fresh water stuff too. If anything, you need some toys down there~! But for us, no Jeep needed; we won't be taking the off-camber single track trails to desert Missions, or, up and down mountains. So, Baja and other areas of the world mean different things to different people, you have to decide what those things are when you want to travel and pick the appropriate vehicle(s). Good luck!
