We own a twin axel caravan with a laden weight of 1700kg. At present we are looking to change our car from a 4x4 to something more economical due to the ever increasing rise in fuel prices.
We are thinking of a VW Passat Estate 2.0TDi 4Motion or Mondeo Estate 2.0 TDCi. Although both cars only have a kerb weight of 1600Kgs they have a maximum towing weight of 2000kgs.
Does this make it legal to tow our twin axel and as the cars mentioned are slightly lighter than the laden weight of the caravan will this make it a dangerous tow?
