Hello
I am having to change car and want to make sure that if I upgrade my van to a twin axle, then i will be able to pull it safely on regular visits to south of france and a 6 week holiday going down to Italy and greece in 2008, as well as frequent weekends away. My choices seem to be
1 Big 4x4 that will pull easily - cant get on the company so will have to buy 2nd hand for other half (probably pathfinder diesel as 7 seats and considerably less expensive than disco). I will have to get a golf
2 Big car and wife gets a touran/zafira etc for the shuttling of ours and other peoples kids. Have identified that Audi A6 2.7 tdi would be about the best, but from websites will still be at c.89% ratio to a twin axle of c.1600 - 1700
3. Big mpv (espace etc)- cant get it out of my head that A6 would be more stable to tow with - help please!
Have read lots of forum and one thing that I dont know is how far/often people tow when they say they tow heavy vans with seemingly light ish cars
Any help would be much appreciated
