Wanted Cheap Tow Car - £2500

[Toad]

Toad Jnr is on the look out for something to tow a caravan with, but with a limited budget.

Just a single axle jobbie, nothing heavy.

Maybe a passat or akin??

Anything about with a tow bar?

So, a cheap toad car?

How heavy is the Caravan?

Get a BMW, something with the M57 6 pot Diesel. You could get them in the 5 & 3 series as the 530/330 variants. Circa 230BHP (depending on which year), and about 500NM or torque. And you'll get 40mpg easily all day long.

Don’t buy anything until you know the plated weight of the caravan and the towing capacity of the car you’re going to pull it with.

Loads will say that it doesn’t matter. And it probably doesn’t until there’s an accident (even if not your fault). If the numbers don’t add up then, expect a book launching…

Forget any %age - it what is plated on the car and caravan/trailer that counts.

For 2.5k? Good luck! Amazing engine though, I had a 330d before that I never should have sold strong money though even at moon miles.
