towing

Hello all, I know towing threads are a dime a dozen but I’m struggling to find one that is relevant to me. I’m hoping to find a reasonably affordable vehicle that will allow me to start towing a trailer. I have a friend who is happy to share her trailer, but my current car can’t tow...

I’m looking at buying a 2022 Audi Q3 35 TFSI 1.5 litre petrol automatic. 150 bhp. Torque figures below — not sure which is the one to look at! Petrol because I don’t make regular long / motorway journeys. Walk to the school run, yard is 7 mins from home and personally just don’t love the idea of...

Hi all! I’m in the market for a new car and preferably want one that can tow. I don’t own a trailer currently but looking at the ifor 505 (but open to other options) It will mainly be for towing a 14.2hh (440kg) and a 13hh (320kg) together. Occasionally a 16hh (550kg). What would people...

Was hoping to upgrade my car to a 4WD Tiguan but unfortunately just do not have the budget. I have a 2012 Kuga FWD, does anyone tow with just a FWD car? Would mostly be for 20-30min trips max and can’t see me doing any off roading!

Hi. I’m looking for a vehicle that will tow a single lightweight cheval Liberte trailer with one 600kg horse. I want something about a year old but don’t want a big gas guzzler and I don’t want a diesel. The problem is that the SUVs I would have bought in the past are being built with smaller...

I'm looking for advice on buying a single horse trailer / car for my 14.1hh Welsh pony. Ideally, I don't want to drive a huge 4x4 SUV, as I'm only 4ft10 and have been driving a Fiat for the last 8 years, so I feel overwhelmed by larger vehicles. I'm considering whether it's possible to tow an...

Hi guys! Beginning my towing career you could say! I drive a 1.6 diesel 2008 Kia C'eed. It has a towing capacity of 1400kg. I'm hoping to get a 800kg (after taking out the partition) Cheval liberte box. I have a 14.2 Irish Cob who is 4 years old and currently at the correct weight. However, both...

I'm currently purchasing a Range Rover Velar Approved (before there's any Land Rover bashing, I've had one for years and never had any issues and it has 3 years warranty in it too). It's been a long discussion with my partner on what to use to tow and this is the only car we can agree on o_O I'm...

I am looking at a Nissan qashqai tekna 1.6 17 plate to tow a iw401 and a 550kg horse.. trying to get a definitive answer on towing capacity is nigh on impossible. does anyone tow with this combo? Is it ok? I want to keep the car as economical as possible - any recommended combinations happily...

Hi I’m wondering if anyone has or is pulling with a Audi Avant 2.7 tdi. The unbraked towing capacity is 2100kg and I want to pull 1 16hh medium weight horse in a older style Ifor Williams trailer (don’t have model details unfortunately ) I’m trying to figure out what I can and can’t do and it’s...

I’ve seen there’s other threads about towing up steep hills, but I’m wondering whether I will be able to tow up a steep drive. For context, I’ve just bought a horse and the drive out of the yard is very steep, and quite tricky to get out of as you have to come to a full stop before pulling out...

I’m new to towing and now really confused... So the cars maximum towing capacity is 2,000kgs. And the total weight of trailer + horses will be around 1,800kgs. I’ve heard about the 85% rule so 85% of the trailers maximum is 1700kgs. So it will be about 100kgs over. is that okay? I’ll only be...
