Hello everyone. I have a Sprite Major 4 SB. I am looking for a new tow car. Has anyone got information or experience of hybrid tow cars?
I have been looking at changing my diesel 4WD VW towcar and have come to the conclusion that diesel is still the most economical and practical alternative, although I'm not sure about future resale value or the overall 'moral' side of things. I'm specifically looking at a diesel AWD Ford Kuga as the plug-in is only 2WD and…
We're changing our tow car this year and are interested in going for a Hybrid. One car we are considering is a Volvo XC40 T5 R Design. Has anyone had experience towing with one of these and what are they like? I know this model has won a category in the Tow Car Awards but interested to here what they are actually like.…
Hello, we have the XC40 T5 plug in hybrid and are now considering changing from our Motorhome 30mpg to a caravan. Is anyone out there towing with the same vehicle as I’d be really interested to hear your experience and the mpg that you’re getting. They did get good write ups as tow cars in tests a year or two back but I’m…
We have a Mitsubishi Outlander diesel on a 66 plate and we are thinking of upgrading any recommendations please. We were thinking of getting a hibrid but have been warned against it

I've been looking at new Kodiaq and a local…
I've always towed with cars with manual gearboxes (40 years experience) , but have just acquired a second hand Skoda Karoq 4x4 with an automatic box, dsg with 7 gears. I tow a Lunar Stellar so no real problems with weight. Should I just tow in automatic on the normal setting, or should I consider the Sport setting.…
Hi. I use an Automatic Mk2 Honda CRV Petrol for towing a Caravan with weights of MIRO.875k & MTPL 1100k. This is a satisfactory combination, but I now have a desire for a fixed bed Caravan. The one that is tempting me is a 2010 Bailey Ranger GT60 460 4. This is advertised as lightweight at MIRO 1055k & MTLP 1252 This does…
