Great journey yesterday from South Northamptonshire to the Lake District, towing our 1550kg Unicorn Vigo, with our Polestar 2 LRDM. It’s our 7th or 8th holiday towing with the Polestar so are getting the hang of it. Two stops, the first after 110 miles in Crew at an Instavolt. Insta was on a go slow at only 80kW max (49…

My car is due to have a towbar fitted next weekend and the company doing the fitting asked if it was for an Al-ko hitch. I said no, but it has a Winterhoff stabiliser fitted…
I have been informed along with my car most Hybrids and EVs don't connect the pins 9 and 13. I suppose this is they don't want you to drain the batteries with potential Fridge and charging the caravan battery from the vehicle. Had anyone got around this?
I have a vw passat 1.6 tdi 2013 (91,000 miles, I have a lot of miles to and from work daily!) It has been used for towing for about 5 years. Maybe 6 or so trips per year, so not lots. Last year on way home from a trip, been driving 90 mins or so and the red oil pressure light flashed on bleeped then went off immediately.…
I am changing my tow car and my choice will probably be a diesel such as the Ford Kuga 148bhp, Kia Sportage 136PS or a Ssangyong Korando 176bhp, all of which have adequate kerbweights for my caravan - do any members have any of these cars and what is their opinion on their towing ability, mpg, etc? Thanks
