My hubby and I are about to try and sort a caravan so that we can get back to it and therefore need to get my Škoda Superb estate fitted with a tow bar.…
I have recently bought a Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Hybrid automatic, not the plug-in version, with a 1600cc engine. We had intended to stop caravanning but have since had a change of heart.

My simple mind interprets this to mean that I can fully…
Just wanted to ask if any experienced tower made a decision to tow heavier than the 85% novice recommendation after years of towing within it? I've just bought a slightly bigger caravan and need to change my tow car for other reasons. My wife does not want to drive a "big car" as this will be her daily drive. So I'm just…

Afternoon everyone, Just looking for some comments on reliability and drivability when towing with a Mazda automatic from fellow Mazda owners in the club. My question is, are there any members out there towing with later model automatic Mazda's (Mazda 6, CX-5, CX-30 etc.) and if so, how do you find them in the longer term?…
