Hi all

hope someone can help me, I’m looking for a new tow car that is under 10k, I want a suv, I have got a swift 6TD exclusive 2020 model, I think the weight is around 1400kg fully ladened. I am wanting something that isn’t bad on juice either. Currently have an antara but want to change it for something newer with less miles on, however every car i look at doesn’t seem to be heavy enough? Thanks

You are under estimating the MTPLM of your van which is 1528kg for the 2020 Swift Sprite Major 6TD which I assume you are referring to.

Try a 2.2 diesel Honda CRV, there are enough around, they pretty bulletproof and tow really well. Mine was a 2011 model that only started to cost me money last year when we had covered 103000 miles.  90% of that was towing

ML350 ..... πŸ™„ it'd tow two of them 

(let's play suggesting our own tow car  😁 )

I have a 2017 BMX X3 and a 2019 Ford Ranger Wildtrak and we tow with both. They don't fit  the criteria which was mentioned so i didn't suggest either of mine. I suggested an x trail

I would not bother using the club outfit matching service as we entered the make, model and year of the car we were going to buy and it came up with a bad match and should not tow our caravan then we noticed Kerbweight unknown that was is 2017 and its still the same

I was a humorous reply .... obviously wasted. 😏

The X3 wouldn't really be heavy enough & the Ford has no indoor luggage space .... I wouldn't have suggested them either! πŸ™„
