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?
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.
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 don't tow on the highway, all I need it for is too tow the caravan from storage to pitch which is about 100 yards. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.…
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. This is irrespective of whether I have selected yes or no. I am told by my dealer that the problem…
