Try a 2.5na !!!

not really felt the need, just (this morning) towed my caravan back from nr great yarmouth with my td4 auto, didn't struggle at all, even on the up hill section of the A12 nr colchester.

did feel like a different van once it was unhitched though.

On another thread started by the OP he tells us he's towing a 23 foot van.

Used to Mrs Anybody's freelanders, she's had both 1.8 & td4, to tow her horse trailer to get horse to shows, vets etc. They towed it quite well, especially the td4 auto.

Last time we had to get horse to vets towed horse trailler with my 2.5n/a hybrid. If it wernt for the hgv drivers slowing up and letting me out in front of them I would never have managed to merge onto the A14

thanks all for feed back. il just have to get the hang of towing, as iv never done it before.
