MondeoTowing

Hi all

Can anyone enlighten me as to what figures I should use when towing with a 2002 Mondeo TDCI 130 BHP, in the manual it recommends 85% of the kerbweight (1500kgs) but it also says that its maxmum towing weight is 1800kgs. can anyone help please

ernie,

I am now on my second mondeo and it tows like a dream.

I have heard of some people who tow up to about 1500kg but I would not risk it and I reckon that anything over about 1350kg is pushing your luck

yes the car can legaly tow up to 1800 kg but in my opinion not safely

My friend has the Mondeo diesel Ghia and tows a Bailey Pageant Bordeaux.

He raves about the performance and economy

Thanks Will

I will definitely stick to the 85% guide as recommended

Hi,

a Bailey Series 5 Bordeaux comes in with a max weight of 1360kg, or 1400kg if it has had the manufacturer's weight upgrade. In reality all this means is you pay
