Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost

Hi Wesley.  I know that modern engines are significantly more powerful than those of old and I guess that the Fiesta would be able to pull a 1000kg van with care.  However, personally I would be happier with a car perhaps of Focus size and with a few more cc's to help on the hills.

Remember, it’s not just the pulling, it’s the stopping as well.

You need to be looking at the all up weight of the caravan (not kerb weight) against the kerb weight of the car. I expect that was just a slip of the pen/finger but, sorry, no way would I contemplate towing with the Fiesta. 

Good luck, whatever you choose to do.

Also be careful as I think the max towing capacity for a Fiesta is 1000kg so whilst it's probably legal it is at its limit which I wouldn't be happy with as most cars aren't really designed to tow anything.  As TW, I wouldn't tow with a Fiesta and good luck.

Personally I would`nt contemplate towing with a car that small.

If starting in the wet would you be able to put the power down without inducing considerable wheelspin?

If you did tow with a Fiesta ,I would only visit Lincolnshire towing .........

Does a Fiesta have enough power to induce any wheel spin? 😉

Towing capacity is too low. I might consider Ford Focus 1.5 EcoBlue 120 with a 1,400 kg towing capacity as a better choice. Many 2 berths have MPTLM of around 1,150 kg. Always best to have a little towing capacity in hand. My tow car is rated to tow 2,000 kg but I would not consider towing a caravan of that weight with it. I tow 1,500 kg MPTLM and that makes more sense to me.

Thanks all, i think thats a no then !!!!
