If you haven't bought the vue yet, you want to research it more.
We've seen vue's being advertised by local dealers for 0% interest.
Makes me leary why they have to sell the vehicle so hard.

just thinking out loud.....

 Part of the reason is that everyone else is offering large dollar discounts
and Saturn doesn't budge (often) on the sticker, hence lower interest to
make up for it.

Personally, I cannot stand the inside plastic door panels which look cheap.
That is going to rattle in a few years once the heat molds the plastic into
a form-fitting shape and then the rattles will come (my SL2 seat-belt
adjuster cover panel is driving me crazy!).

Too bad they don't paint the bumpers to match the body, excluding the
Redline model with it's few color picks. Reminds me of the cheaper SL with
black bumpers verses the more expensive SL with the painted ones.

 To answer your question, the MAX that a V6 VUE can pull is 2500lbs, and that
is considering total weight including occupants of the car.

If you are pulling 3K lbs, you need to look at a more serious utility type
vehicle.

 I prefer the unpainted ones. There's no paint to get scratched.

 I don't have a Vue, but my retired parents ordered theirs with a factory
installed class one hitch on their V6 AWD. I can't tell you how it tows,
because I haven't towed with it, but it seems that at least the V6 Vue has
the factory "OK" to tow.

However, as with any tow vehicle, to me one of the more important factors
with towing anything besides drivetrain/suspensi­on ability is the wheelbase
length. The vehicles you described are NOT midsize SUV's, but the
small/mini size. I personally wouldn't tow anything other than maybe a 4X8
utility trailer for dirt bikes and waverunners, etc with any of the "mini"
SUV's (esp on highways - A nice crosswind will have you fighting and swaying
all over, never-the-less stopping capability). bigger Boats, large pop-ups,
small camping trailers are good for the bigger mid SUV's (blazer, explorers,
Durango). Then you get into the large (Expedition, full size Pick-ups, etc)
for anything else....Just my opinion....

So what vehicle don't you worry about? Virtually all SUVs (except for high
priced German ones) have rebates and/or special financing.

Actually the V6 is rated to 3500lbs.

However, I am not sure I could see that much being towed behind the car,
because it is so short. Also it is FWD so even the AWD model will mostly be
putting the power to the front wheels.

We have had ours since 1/2 and my wife really likes it. I've driven it a
few times and - except for the smallish size - it feels great and seems
well-built.

Let's not forget, too, that beautiful Honda engine. I'm sure it'll last
longer than the POS Vortec 4300 I had on my Jimmy.

Amen on the V6 -- have had mine about a month and only have the following
negative feedback...
1) wish all cars co$t le$$, especially the ones I buy
2) wish all cars got better fuel economy, especially the ones I buy
and
3) my VUE is a "red line" with leather interior and because it handles
fairly well I wish Saturn had put seats with a little more lateral
support into the red line. I don't try to drive it beyond reasonable
limits (except once in a while when all alone) -- but the lateral support
issue surfaces before any concern about suspension & body roll, lack of
feedback thru the wheel, etc.

That RedLine looks like a nice car! I would've sprung for it but this is
the wife's car and she wanted a regular V6. She did go for 17" tires
though. Darn things are huge!
