When buying a tow car, look at torque output and not the bhp of the engine. Older landcruisers and troopers had 123 bhp but a shed load of nm of torque. As bhp is normally found at higher revs. Its not that important when towing a caravan.
Do you think that is possible for a C4 Picasso 1.2 Puretech 130 hp Pretol to push a caravan with 850 kgs?!?! I'M thinking of buy a caravan and i only have that car....can you give me you opinion? The maxium weigth that the car can push is 1470kgs!
Wow like it . Thank you for the information
Nice and very useful review, glad to see the Disco is still up there as well, as i just bought another one :)
The Mondeo is an ECOboost not ECCHOboost
I am sure that the best tow car is the biggest one ? know which one I would rather have for towing and it is not the Passat !

Try & pitch up on wet grass with that Passat. I will take the Discovery please. Clear winner in every way.
Thanks but i will keep my Shogun 3.2 diesel with its 3500kg tow rating
Did you test the skoda superb with the same engine as the Passat , and please publish the weights of the vans you tow
Please show the complete lineup

Jeep renegade 4x4 140cv 2.0multijet is another great tow car.

Toyota Land Cruiser will tow your "house" at 70mph all day long.
They don't sell the Land cruiser in the EU though. They rebadge the Prado as a Land cruiser and that's not nearly as good.
