I bought the Mondeo 2.0 tdci estate for the extra load carrying space and extra pulling power. I tow a 1992 Swift Corvette (Only 1000kg full laden) but as posted elsewhere on this site, I have noticed from day one that the rear end sits very low when loaded and hitched up. The caravan is loaded correctly and the nose weight correct - I check it with a nose weight guage every trip. Apart from this it does a great job of towing and is very fuel efficient when not towing.
Suggestions have been made in many different forums that the Mondeo has a reputation for having 'Soft' suspension. This is a bit of a worry as I am now considering a bigger newer caraven. Short of ditching the Mondeo for a tow vehicle with beefier rear suspension my only option seems to be a suspension upgrade. I am looking for expert advice hear. Can this be done? Is it worth while? (Or is a diifferent tow vehicle the way to go). Is it expensive? How easy is it to do? Which manufacturer to choose?
Lots of questions - any and all advice would help
