Alfa Romeo Stelvio

 Most  things that originate from Italy are top notch with looks, but nearly always need deep pockets and long arms to keep their looks going

THIS is all I can find, hope it helps.

Thanks, both for replies.  Vulcan, yours gave me a bit of a surprise until I realised the figures were for the 2 litre petrol, rather than the 2.2 diesel, which is the variant I would go for.  The lack of info just underlines that there are not many out there using these to tow in the UK (seem very popular in Oz), despite all major tow bar companies servicing the model.

JVB, historically, I would agree with you, but the latest Alfas are doing better than Audi, Mercedes and BMW on the the most recent Warranty Direct reliability surveys, although not as well as Japanese and Korean offerings.  I would though stick an extended warranty on it, just in case!

I am hopeful there is someone in the Club out there who is actually towing with one!  It has all the credentials, and given its roots, I suspect the engine in the Stelvio is not markedly different from the new Cherokee, but I am guessing on that one.

I've just built myself a V6 twin turbo 500+bhp Quadrifoglio for nearly £90k .... 🙄🤣🤣

Don't tell me you have forsaken your Merc Andy................not having that !. 

Not at all .... 😉 As above, Italians don't have exactly have a reputation for reliability  🙄 and I don't have that kind of money to spend on a car.

Ps Did you ever get an email from me via our Community Manager?

In the words of Jeremy Clarkson….you can’t call yourself a true petrol-head until you’ve owned an Alfa. 

As for reliability….straight out of the Quentin Wilson style tired old myths perpetuated by people who’ve never owned one and just read it somewhere!

you're right ... I've never owned one, but have never particularly wanted one .... maybe an Alfa Sud of years gone by or a V6 Spider but doubt either would've made a good tow car.  Do they make a RWD car? A lad at work had an Alfa something (159?) estate .... he had nowt but trouble with it - does that count?

I'm afraid the asymmetric number-plate offends my aesthetic taste.

I ran a 1982 LHD Spider for a number of years complete with fully symmetrical stick on the bonnet number plate.  Fabulous car, but always hankered after a boat tail, Mrs Robinson style 😉
