Hi everyone, Having been told our wheel bearings had gone & that it would be ok to tow the caravan to the south of france & back (just turn the radio up they said) we've just been told our rear diff has gone (quite common apparently) & to replace it will be quite a few pennies so we thought we'd look into changing the car…
Anyone got an "M" class Mercedes and use it to tow with? I have been looking at diesel and around the 3litre version but have recently looked at a 5.5 litre. Economy is not really a consideration as long as it does the job. My caravan weighs 1800kg and is single axle
im looking at changing my car to a Infiniti QX70. I would love to hear from anyone who owns one to hear what they think of it, does it tow well etc.? My caravan is a twin axle. It does pass the matching service. I'm struggling to find a tow bar other than one fitted by Infiniti which cost around £1,900. Looking forward to…

Does anyone have experience of towing with CVT automatic transmission as in Toyota RAV4, Nissan Qashqai, Subaru Forester, and others? In particular, performance, noise and most importantly, reliability.
I have read much criticism of CVT for towing. Two months ago we took delivery of a new Nissan X-Trail 2.00 litre 4X4 with CVT. Last Saturday we towed our new van home from the dealer, a distance of sixty miles. I was most impressed by the way the CVT performed. Yes it is different from a TC but then it is different with…
