Hi Has anyone towed with a 2024-2025 kia sportage 207bhp. My caravan fully laden weight is around 1500kg. The kia sportage has a maximum towing capacity of 1360kg.

I have a Volvo XC60 towing a Coachman caravan. There seems to be a problem with the car performing the trailer lamp check function in that I have to press the control button multiple times before it will accept the command.

But the timing chain has been replaced and the DPF fully cleaned etc etc. Any thought at all would be appreciated and also thinking of selling our motorhome (2019 Carthago 141LE) and getting a caravan (maybe…
I have had five 2.2 diesel manual CRV's and have found them wonrderful tow cars for towing my Coachman Amara 520/4, and am looking to trade my current 2.2 for new 1.6, but i'm very concerned that it is up to the job. Does anybody have any experiance of towing a 1500kg van with new range CRV 1.6 manual ?
My converted T5 is still registered as a van, and I'm tempted to change the registration, which seems easy enough to do. The only tangible difference I know of is making it easier to arrange specialist insurance, but what else? Will my insurance or road tax be cheaper?
