Chris308 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Using the 85% rule of thumb it would be around 1,415Kg You can match your tow car against caravans on this site http://www. towcar. info/index. php which I have found to be a useful starting point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamdrivenandy Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 According to the spec. on Honest John the diesel manual Titan has a kerbweight of 1842kg and a towing limit of 1800kg. The 85% guideline would be 1566kg. I don't know if Kia made an automatic Titan, but if they did it would be heavier, BUT automatic diesel Sportages were limited to a maximum tow weight of 1400kg. A manual petrol Titan weighs 1696kg and 85% of that would be 1442kg and the tow limit is 1600kg. These are based on specs for a 2010 Sportage which was the same model as a 2008, there might be minor differences but they wouldn't amount to much.

paddi b Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks Chris308 an Steamdrivenandy 😊 Yeh it is the 2. 0 CRDi Diesel 6 speed manual March 2008 (made between 1st May 2007 to 30th June 2008) Kerb weight 1842kg an towing weight 1800kg. So I'll assume it be 85% of the 1842kg ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
