Hi there

as newcomers to caravanning just wanted to know if does anyone on this site use a Toyota rav 4 2015 2litre diesel .was told by Toyota it would tow 1600kgs 

we have an Avondale Rialto 550/4 (1425 kG) 

does anyone have any experience of towing with this vehicle 

many thanks

    Assuming the weight of 1425kg for the Rialto is it’s fully laden weight, which sounds likely, then you would be wise to use a tow car with a kerb weight around 1700kg to meet the 85% recommendation.

    Does this match your RAV4's kerb weight?
