• Coming to traffic cop tv soon !. 5 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Hi , I witnessed an accident which may eventualy be seen on traffic cop tv. Ahead of me on the A1 dual carriageway a patrol car was following (well back) a car being towed at 50 mph by another car, the car being towed did not have an "on tow" sign in the rear. The tow car was, in my opinion following too close to a pickup ahead of it and the car being towed was swaying from side to side.

• Tow Car 29 Jun 2023 (Forum)
  Hi, I currently do around 20000 miles per year in a ford fiesta. I now am needing to tow occasionally (maybe 8 weekends a year) and so need a new car. The towing weight will be low, approx 1000kg. My budget is £20000 and ideally would like 2019 or newer. Due to a long commute mpg is important and I would like at least to get 43mpg as I do in the fiesta.
• Mercedes Benz C220 Sport - Tear Wear due to towing a Caravan 21 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  Due to the low suspension of this model the car sits very low at the back when towing. The Tyre specialist believes the wear has been caused by towing a caravan as the weight of the caravan on the back has lifting the front wheels, changing the alignment which would cause extra wear on the outer edges Does this sound logical?
• any - buying a car that's been towing - would you? 24 Nov 2010 (Forum)
    I keep seeing nice models on 'trader but then see that they've got a towbar fitted. Am i right to run a mile at the thought? I know there's a world of difference between towing a little trailer to the tip, or a small dingy and a huge twin axle caravan. I always kind of assumed that I'd never get a straight story from the dealer about what had actually been towed...... However, even assuming worst case - is it such a bas thing if (say) a 2.2 Mondeo tdci or Accord CDTi has done the odd thousand miles or so over caravan towing?
• Towing weight law 28 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  But I'm interested in whether it specifically contravenes any law [1], maybe something under Construction and Use. And if the manufacturer's spec isn't a hard legal limit, what is? GJD [1] Not because I want to tow a 2 ton trailer with my car - it's just that I've never found a consensus amongst all the people I know who tow gliders around.
