There are just so many vehicles that will tow this it’s an impossible question. But they will be a step up from your Insignia. Do you want a large tow vehicle used principally for towing and have a smaller vehicle for daily use. Do you want diesel or petrol/ hybrid? Do you have a BE licence because if you don’t then you will require to take a test. Do you have children, dogs etc.
As a matter of interest, which ones would be capable of towing a caravan with a MTPLM 1800 and staying within the 85% guideline. Doesn't the Volvo XC90 have a maximum nose weight of 90kg although it is quite capable of towing 1800kg?
Never said they would be cheap, but the OP hasn’t stipulated a budget so we can only surmise in the absence of more information.Apologies I thin k you misunderstood my question. I was not referring to the OP but out of interest I was wondering if there were any non 4x4s that could possibly tow a 1800kg caravan within the 85% guideline.
However I did do a check anyway and there appear to be none that can at 85%, but many close at to the 90% or higher however for all you would need very deep pockets.
Sounds like an ill matched combination and heaven knows what the car and caravan loading and distribution were.
I don't think the 2.2l can tow 1800kg or if it can it would be right on the limit however still a good tow vehicle.
I have now found the specs on the 2.2l 160bhp auto and it can tow up to 3500kg. Manual can only manage 1800kg.
But it could probably manage it day in day out. But the Ranger was upgraded a couple of years ago the 2.2 disappeared and a 2.0 became the mainstream engine with three different power outputs.
Originally it was the 2.2l but was underpowered so along came the 3.2l, but now the 2.2l has made a come back and is proving to be quite popular. Ranger has had the 2.2, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.2 engines fitted at some point.
