SsangYong Rexton II SX

Although the Rexton didn’t get unstable at speed, it took too long to get there and there was too much body roll. At slower speeds it did not give a comfortable ride and on the hill route it was difficult to get the parking brake to hold.

Good points include a high noseweight limit (128kg) and the mirrors give good visibility. The towball was too high – 540mm from the ground– so when hitched the nose of the caravan was pointing upwards. Cavernous rear storage compartment, though, and the tool kit was handily placed beneath the nearside rear seat.
