I know it's a dull subject but it's one that I don't seem to be able to gather any information on from t'interweb.
So it sounds like a simple enough question.. Can I tow legally and safely In my current vehicle a vauxhall insignia 2ltr diesel Eco?
I spoke to vauxhall who said yes then rang a trailer company who said they didn't think so :-/ then spoke to some friends who said no due to the fact that to be road legal the car needs to be able to tow the trailer fully laden even though I would only ever actually be looking to take one long 16.2 600kg in say an ifor 503..
So Is it possible, is it legal and most importantly is it safe? Selling said car and replacing with 4x4 is not an option as I don't own it (company car, not stolen don't worry).
