Its weight is 2.2 tonnes and the listed towing weight is 3.0 tonnes. We tow a horse box. Half of our friends say the all up weight of the trailer cannot exceed the weight of the vehicle.

• KIA Sedona auto 2008 - Towing 24 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  When towing a caravan after about an hour the revs shoot up to 3500 and the gearbox shifts down to 2nd gear. If i pull over and restart the car the problem clears for a while.

• Peugeot 306 towing weight. 25 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  The missus is talking about buying a wee single axle caravan, it's around 700kg, which, I'm led to believe, is under the towing weight for our old 306 DT, I'm just not so sure, it's one thing towing something a couple of miles, but not up and down 200 miles of M6. Do you think we'd be better off getting something bigger? TIA!
