skoda kodiaq towing capability HELP!!

[otherclive]

From a practical standpoint the axle will not fail at 1Kg over its rating - 10% would at my guess be a reasonable overrating. An uprated van will usually take you to or close to the axle limit - as is the case with my Unicorn S4 Seville and it would be unsafe to do that if the axle failed within a few Kg of that figure.

I inadvertently overloaded a 1000 kg MTPLM Trigano pop top to near 1250 kg. The tyres were rated at slightly above 1250 kg as before I bought it home I’d had uprated tyres fitted, but that wasn’t because of an intention to overload it. In mitigation all I can say is that the public weighbridge in Brecon confirmed that my careful weighing of the payload was within 10 kgs or thereabouts. It towed well, no bouncing around.

If the manufacturer has done his homework properly, the axle limit will take into account a certain percentage of towing over unsurfaced roads and Belgian pavé. Under such conditions the dynamic axle loads will be a lot more than the 10% margin that you consider appropriate.

Thankyou Jezzer.
What a revelation. No ATC on a flagship Elddis model🙃😥

No that was a Bailey Pegasus Verona.

So getting back to the Skoda kodiak, It look like that its a nice tow car.

I wonder if Supra will bring out a sporty version.
