Just wondering if anyone had towed with the 2.0 4WD version and what their experiences were?

A friend does and really likes it. She only tows a 403 with a 400kg pony though so about 1200kg in total. You'd be looking at about 1500kg. I think the capacity is 1800kg?

Yes we have towed (one cob or a full load of hay bales) with our Skoda Yeti 4wd diesel automatic - easy and comfortable. We bought the Skoda for its towing capacity and compact, easy to park size, plus its the most comfortable car I've had for long journeys.

We used to pull my 450kg Arab in an IW505 with one. It was absolutely fantastic. You barely noticed there was anything on the back. We live in South Wales, so it pulled up and down some very steep hills.
I'm sure it could've pulled two but never tried, as I wouldn't have felt so confident with the towing capacity. Ours was the 4 x 4 2.2 turbo diesel version.

I have the same model, personally I wouldn't tow a horse with it, even though it's rated to tow just over 2000kg I don't think it's man enough for the job. I do love mine though it's used a a dog wagon and gets plenty of off roading when I'm out beating and picking up with my working dogs!
