I currently tow with 2023 180bhp AWD Kia Sportage and am looking to change it for the above. Most tests I can find are for the AWD version and that seem good, but there seem to be very few AWD versions available at present (for the money I want to pay!). Can anyone help me with how the 2WD version performs when towing? I…
I have been looking at higher spec Kia Sportage (226BHP GT Line-S, AWD mild hybrid) as a replacement for my current old 180BHP Diesel AWD. The new model is a great drive and probably a good towcar, once you have worked your way through the minefield of decreasing tow capacities for newer models. However, I have just learnt…
Hi all, I've recently read online that new tow bars should have the paint removed from the tow ball. I previously had a tow bar but didn't remove the paint! Had it fitted at Trident towing near Maidstone & they never mentioned a thing. Is this something I should be doing, only reason i can think of is if it affects the…
We tow with a 2019 Kia Sorento, the widest towcar we have ever owned. We have a pair of Milenco Aero Platinum mirrors.

Hi - I need to change my car and am considering a Skoda Kodiaq. However had heard that that unless towing prep added on production you cannot retro fit a towbar? Is that correct? Does it apply to all models/specs? I don't need 7 seats (just a large boot!) and don't mind either manual or dsg if that makes a difference.…
Could I please have your recommendations for manufacturers or suppliers of towbar electrics? I recently fitted a towbar and electrics to my van that I bought from PF Jones. The towbar was a Witter, and was a breeze to fit. The electrics however were awful to fit, mainly because of the supplied instructions, which were…
I usually strip the paint off any new towbar but am not sure how to deal with this E coating. Can I leave it on?
