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
Posted on 16/05/2020 22:45 by rich 81I could get a ML350 for less than i paid for my Truckman box. If i ever fall on hard times i will pop down the scrappy and have a look at one. They sound like amazing tow cars. My Ranger is my work vehicle and also doubles up as a leisure vehicle and its great at both. you could probably trade your ML in and find a rusty old high mileage pick up as an upgrade

I would recommend a Mazda cx-5 sport with the 175ps engine.
A 2015 version will tow 2000kg in manual or auto, ive towed with both, only negative is the 88kg Nose weight limit, ive towed with both manual and auto.
2015 car in auto weighed 1703kg and i towed 1700kg with no issues using 80 to 88kg NW.
Its a better towcar than my present Tiguan.

Have you thought of a Volvo XC90 or an XC70 if you want a 4x4? Very comfortable with a huge boot area. There are very nice ones available for under 10k. We bought an XC70 after comparing it to an Antarra. For comfort there was no comparison with a reputation of great towing abiilty.(I say reputation as we have not had the chance to give the Volvo much of a run out). Users Advice on WhatTow Car website gives useful information on weights etc

Mazda Cx5..iffy diesels..well recorded longstanding oil rise dpf problems from it's first release in 2012 to the present day. Decent drive for a small suv.
