Anyone got a 2 wheel drive ford kuga to tow with, we are looking to get one for our 6 berth single axel caravan. Would anyone recommend, we currently have a 4x4 skoda scout but diesel price is so high and it uses alot thanks

There is one regular member who tows with a Kuga. Quite sure he will give you some real world advice.

I had a 2 litre AWD Superb diesel and even with today’s 30 pence differential in fuel price compared to petrol I’d suggest the Superbs fuel costs overall would be lower than two petrols one before the Superb and one after. It was quite noticeable how the petrol cars fuel economy dropped when towing even a lightweight 1300 kg caravan. Solo the Superb diesel out performed them. Even a very recent Kia XCeed 1.5 auto petrol was inferior to the diesel Superb in solo driving.
 
I have the mk3 AWD but my son in law has the mk3 front wheel drive and has towed with it fine for last 3 years,and both give excellent fuel consumption towing.

We have a Kuga Titanium 2.0 2017 diesel. It pulls our Lunar Eclipse easily. The Lunar caravans are lightly built, but I don't think any van would be a problem.

The Op is looking for a petrol given the price of diesel so an idea of solo and towing fuel consumption together with caravan weight would be helpful.
