Kia Sprtage 2.0 16v sx 2000(w plate)

Somebody help me,

I have recently purchased the above and have checked on towsafe for a good match with my Bailey Ranger 510/4.The match was very good.

Upon reading my sportage owners manual i have noticed a few spelling mistakes (if i have made any please ignore it!!!!!!) and i am now in doubt as the manual states that i can tow a maximum of 900kg and my max noseweight is 90kg.

Towsafe states that the sportage can tow a max of 1600kg and max noseweight is 75kg.

Please Help.

Take a look at the Kia website - Sportage specification to be found at http://www.kia.co.uk/sportagetechnicalspecification.asp

The figures given on the site agree with Towsafe. Don't know where the 900Kg maximum comes from as it doesn't even tie in with the unbraked trailer weight.

BTW - Spelling was fine. Need to watch the capital letters ;-)
