Towing with new model Ford Kuga

We still have our kuga diesel, it is a great tow car and we shall probably keep it now untill we stop towing, another couple of years, hopefully.  We do find the Kuga is a bit big for some car parks , but it suits us for now. 

We haven't had a petrol car for years so I can't comment on your new car, but I hope you get a lot of pleasure out of it.  Let us know your mpg when you are towing, with the diesel we get about 30mpg, that a 2l  Kuga towing  15cwt. caravan.

Joanie, is that a typo. Do you mean 15cwt, which is about 680kg, or 1500kg?

Practical caravans have carried out a full towing reviews, also Ford Kuga owners, several pleased Kuga FHEV owners.

you get the prize colin  , I do tend to use the old measurements  sometimes, gets me into a lot of trouble. The van is a bailey pheonix 640. It has been upgraded  in weight to just under the 1500kg

We are on our second Kuga the first one was a mild hybrid diesel our present one is a PHEV 2022 2.5 ltr  which tows our 1381kgs with no problems flying up Birdlip and telegraph hills, on both cars we went for the factory fitted tow bar just press the button and your ready to hook up   

Telegraph Hill that a real killer, our 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4 PHEV towing our 1500kg caravan we still had about 5 miles EV range left is disappeared within a few minutes,I thought the ICE was going to pop out of the bonnet, going down the other side we gained 2 miles EV.

The last time we went up Birdlip hill we got stuck behind a split screen Morris minor doing about 15/20 MPH, finally there was a break in the traffic in the outside lane and we got past him he gave us a wave as we passed him by. At the top of Birdlip there used to be the apply named pub the "Air balloon"   

Its a few years since we've towed up Birdlip Hill, we now use the M6 Toll Road.
