towing with a tiny car?

[doobin]

Back to Russels query- what about something like a Suzuki SX4? Very cheap, 1200-1600kg towing capacity dependent upon year. My 2.0 diesel returns 42mpg average, the wife’s newer 1.6 diesel does 55mpg average. Both 4x4.

A jimmy is really not very economical despite its size.

Our little hd84 is rated to 1.4t and tows very nicely , albeit a wee bit short on the draw bar. I do fancy a little 6x4 plant for the E10 when I don’t want the dumper as well.

Don’t go for the GH64, 1240kg payload doesn’t leave much after the E10 for buckets, etc. With my K008 I’m probably over with all of my buckets on board.

is that average mpg ?
19t merc does 12

yes for short trips on the island or towing on the mainland.
Personally i need something tall as every other car seems to have superbright led headlights now.

We have a Skoda yeti 4x4 2.0 which can tow 1800kg. The 4x4 system is quite clever as just kicks in automatically when there's slipping.

Haldex coupling.

I had one before the RAV4, great towing car. It was just getting tired, rust on doors, electrical gremlins.
