We have a new 2022 Suzuki Vitara 1.4 turbo mild hybrid petrol automatic and a Silver Mini Freestyle 290. I have added the data from Towcar.info.
We did loads of research into towcars for lightweight caravans and into whether to get a manual or automatic. We found various reviews of the car suggesting it would be a good option for our mini freestyle:

Since then we have been asking on the Suzuki forum about something related to the towbar and someone has now suggested we should get an Automatic Transmission Cooler for the car if we are towing.
The manual does not recommend this and from what we have read in advice online, this does not seem necessary unless the car manufacturer recommends it for towing, or in mountainous conditions for some cars.
We haven't actually towed yet, but are going away in about 4 weeks for our first trip.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
