farmershands Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I have a work car for towing my clipper (x5) just wondered what the smallest 4x4 I could get away with towing it, with my wife's car, would it be ok with lets say a VW tiguan, or bmw x3, freelander? Wife does not want a big 4x4 Edited August 25, 2014 by farmershands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N&L Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I would have thought the MIRO of the clipper is above the kerbweight of the Tiguan and possibly the X3 so not a good idea to be towing a caravan that weighs more than your car, some freelanders are a bit heavier but still not a very good match considering the Clipper is around 1. 9 tons fully loaded Quote 2022 Pilote P696GJ for European touring- 2022 Coachman VIP 565 for touring the UK towed by a 2020 Kia Sportage GT line S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windowwatcher Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi I would have thought you're looking at a pretty beefy 4 x 4 or MPV to tow the Clipper. Even at 100% you'd be hard pressed with the newer 4 x 4 and crossovers as they seem to be getting lighter to enable the enhanced performance and consumption figures. I would think you're going into the world of the green oval, older Sorento's, Sedona's or Jeeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marks Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Jag XJ's can tow 1900kg, but like many I thinks it's 4x4 territory. Quote Land Rover Discovery and Conquerer 630 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
