In the November/December issue of the Club Magazine, we discussed the increase in popularity of automatic gearboxes for towcars and motorhomes. To help us refine our advice for Club members, it would be really helpful if you could give is a little insight into your experience with these: Q. Which description most fits the…
Hi I see they promote the 1.6 Pioneer model for towing. Anyone with experience of one and what weight do they tow. Ssangyong still say up to 2000 kg but what is it like in practice. Looking at changing up from mt 2.0 SE Korando which is brilliant. Thanks
I have a small caravan (1200kg MTPLM) and am considering a VW Campervan as a tow vehicle. Can anyone please give me some guidance, or offer experience of having done so? Thanks.
Has anyone had any experience with towing with one of these cars? Will it do what they say and tow 1.5ton?
The Government site talks of "gross weight", and the current need for ALL trailers over 750kg in gross weight to be registered and carry appropriate plates. In simple terms (no political discussions please), and when referring to a caravan, what does this term mean? I assume it means "caravan's weight when fully loaded and…

The current short list is: Audi Q7, Range Rover TDV6/V8 (not sport), Discovery 4 TD, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes ML or GL. All…

So we finally got to test the Polestar 4 as a tow car this week. Not a huge trip but far enough to get a good feel. Due to a mess up on my…
Hi all. I’m wondering if anyone has experience of how good the “caravan” routing options are on the Pivi Pro sat nav found in Land Rover and Jaguar cars is. I’m picking up my first caravan next month and am mindful of accurate routing given that I’ll be towing a 7.8m long twin axle. The sat nav in my Defender has an option…

Hi All, I thought I would share this info being as it's taken quite a while to figure out with the help of Nissan UK. Nissan don't publish their towing weights in the current X-Trail manual, nor is it on the V5C, it is only in the brochure . Which, for my version (5 seat, E-power, E-4orce) is advertised at 1,800kg. Which…
