Hi All, My first time posting on the discussion forum! I currently drive a 2021 Skoda Superb 4x4 DSG 2ltr TDI Estate which I use for towing. It's great and has masses upon masses of space in it, especially in the boot with an ok max towbar nose weight of 90kg. My PCP is up soon and I need something decent which is higher…
The general consensus seems to be that a 'traditional' automatic with individual gears is better than a CVT automatic that relies on a single steel belt. CVT seems to be much more widespread than I thought and I wondered if any members tow with a CVT auto box eg Nissan X-Trail, and if so, have they experienced a problems.
Hi everyone I have recently swapped my Mazda CX7 for a 2018-2020 automatic version Santa Fe. The Mazda was absolutely rock solid when towing but the Santa Fe seems to be decidedly twitchy at motorway speeds. Since most people seem to rave about the Santa Fe's ability (and on paper it is heavier than the Mazda and the…
Not sure what others will think of these. Best cars for towing caravans 2024
I’m after buying a new tow car to replace my 6 yr old Volvo XC60 diesel. Nowadays it seems I have to buy a hybrid or all electric to tow my 3 yr old Bailey Phoenix.

The Sportage Owners Manual states (Chapter 7 Page 32) 'When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle turn off Lane Keeping Assist for safety reasons.' Have any members experienced caravan stability issues towing with Lane Keeping (or Lane Following) Assist on?
hi there, I'm about to collect a Skoda superb and plan to get a towbar fitted. I've discovered on the web that some Skoda's are unsuitable and illegal to fit a towbar, so I've took a picture of the vin plate inside the bottom at the driver's door. It does show the gross train weight. Can anybody confirm this car is good to…
I tow my Compass Kensington with a Ford Kuga Mk2. To enable the towing electrics (Reverse and Fog lights) to work correctly I have removed the nearside bulbs due to Kuga not able to handle 2 x reverse and 2 x foglights on the caravan.
