and what do you tow with?
Hi All, I would appreciate any comments on a Kia Sorento KX1 2,2 2012 as a tow car Cheers
I have been trying and failing to find any information online about the towing capabilities of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The car is stunning, and secondhand values appear quite reasonable. Alfa also appears to have improved its past reliability issues. Weights, economy and performance appear promising. Anybody out there tow…
Hi, I'm thinking of buying a used (2014-2017, 40-70k miles) VW Passat Estate 2.0 desiel as first towcar. I'd prefer an automatic or semi automatic rather than the manual but am a bit concerned about the DSG gearbox relability on an older car. Does anyone have any experience of the longer term reliabilty of the Passat DSG…
Yesterday I took my Mondeo automatic on a decent run at speed to both put some charge in the battery and to burn off deposits in the exhaust. This morning the car won't start. It is as though the battery is dead, (2 year old battery). I keep the car in my garage but because of the car's length the front of the bonnet is…

What are people's thoughts, particularly with regard…
Hi All We've just purchased our new caravan but have unfortunately been let down in our purchase of our new car, it was ordered last October and we are still awaiting delivery with the latest update being October this year! Can anyone recommend any place that hires vehicles with towing capability? We are based in South…
We are having some issues confirming that our car is legal to tow our caravan. Towcar.info (where we have input our exact figures from our V5 & the caravan info) is showing it is safe to tow (at 73%). However after ringing CC they have said it's unsafe. But the figures they had are incorrect & could not be changed to show…
Hi All, We have a Bailey Motorhome & we're thinking of buying an Electric Car to tow behind our Van. Has anyone any experience of towing an EV? A friend told me that EV's cannot freewheel because it damages the electric motor. Not heard of this and I'll ask the dealer before we buy, but I'd prefer to get an unbiased…
Hi, This is my first time using the forum, so here goes... I used to tow with a ML270 which towed like a dream. I recently changed to a 2017 GLE 250 4matic specifically to tow my Lunar Delta twin axel. It actually tows extremely well, however, the suspension dips so much that the caravan dips down. I have always loaded the…
