Hi, we have had a caravan for some time but my wife no longer wishes to do camp site holidays. I still love them, so we'll be selling our caravan and I hope to buy a trailer tent and downsize from my Land Rover Freelander too. Can anyone recommend a good self charging hybrid that is economical to run and tow about 750Kg…
Does anybody have one of these with a towball fitted? Can you tell me the distance from ground to mid towball with vehicle unladen? I ask because I have a recently acquired Toyota RAV4 with a factory fitted towbar and ball - detachable. It is too high which means I cannot tow my caravan off my downsloping drive because 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.
Nigella the Discovery2 is past her best and is to be pensioned off at Easter. I am not a Kia Sorento person (that's certainly where the smart money goes) so am looking to buy another luxury 4x4. The current short list is: Audi Q7, Range Rover TDV6/V8 (not sport), Discovery 4 TD, Porsche Cayenne, Mercedes ML or GL. All…
Seeing as the TCotY thread got locked, and being in the every luck position of actually having one of the entrants (though not a class winner), I thought I would leave a review here. 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…
Has anyone towed with a 2024-2025 Kia Sportage HEV 207bhp (not the MHEV or PHEV)? My caravans fully laden weight is around 1325kg so within the theoretical limit of the car. However, I would be interested to know how it performs in reality on the road, particularly with the auto gearbox. TIA.
