The towing speed limit used to be 130 kph and when you are doing a 5000km round trip it makes a HUGE difference, The irony is if you pull the same 1500 kg caravan with a smaller car you are still allowed to do 130kph

That same point I rased in another thread a couple of days ago, tow with a bigger car, much more stable, on top of the job towing at around 82% and be limited to 56mph, choose a lighter towcar, towing at 100% and can tow at 70mph

130kph is 82.5 mph 90kph is 56.4 mph it's an enormous difference

Each to there own but towing at 80mph is not for me, I'm on holiday
