I'm thinking of towing a car behind the motorhome. Resisted this but recently downsized to a fiat 500 for a whole variety of reasons. It just now make sense! And thoughts, ideas or suggestions would be most welcomed. A Frame?
I am considering the possible purchase of the new Coachman Lusso! All 1950kgs of it! I drive a 2019 Seat Tarraco 190 bhp, which is four wheel drive and can tow up to 2,300kgs (braked), which I would prefer not to have to sell. However the 85% rule for this car is a couple of hundred kgs lower than the 1950kgs of the Lusso.…
Be aware anyone looking to buy a new tow car the parent company in India of SangYong are in receivership. Unable to make loan payments..... this is the 4th time in 25 years they have gone bust or been taken over to stave off bankruptcy. I would be wary of investing my hard earned dosh until there is news of a bailout. `so…
I've been looking at a 2020 nissan xtrail 1.7 diesel and was wondering if anyone has experienced them as a towcar. Also as a 7 seater I would like to remove the back 2 seats as I would never use them and they only add weight and use up boot space in my opinion, I imagine it shouldn't be to difficult to do but cant find any…
Hello I bought a pair of Maypole mirrors for my 2015 insignia which fit ok with the rubber straps, however they wobble like mad. Probably because they are cheap. Recommendations please for mirrors that clamp on without the straps to suit my car please :)
Hi everyone out there, just wondered if anyone else was experiencing the same trouble as us. We bought a new landrover discovery sport in march and as of now still havent managed to get a tow bar. There doesnt seem to be any in the country due to covid. This seems very strange to me, we actually moved house in the shut…
following discussions on tow-car of the year set me off on a nostalgia trip which I thought might start a fun item, what is your current tow-car and what was your favourite oldie? I currently drive a Santa Fe (which I love) and my favourite oldie was our faithful old Volvo 740,2.0l petrol, an estate, with oodles of boot…
Has anyone fitted a BMW retrofit detachable tow hitch to a BMW 335d x drive F31? I'm told by the BMW dealer that when fitted the distance from centre of hitch to rear bumper will be 65mm whereas the Alko needs a minimum of 68mm? Despite that I see Towcar tests of similar vehicle clearly using the BMW tow hitch and an Alko…
Something I posted on another thread regarding EV but could be of interest. Done some digging on the Tesla model X as it is possibly the most advanced therefore a likely likely towcar. All this is gleaned from Teslas US owners forum and other web searches So may not be Factual. Please verify for yourself before making a…
I currently have a car and caravan with a combined gross weight < 3500KG, which means I am fine to tow on a normal car licence. We are thinking of upgrading, and it seems everything towards the more fancy end of the market is heavier! I am therefore considering doing the B+E test. The courses can easily come to >£600, so…
