Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year 2019

Think I'll stick with my Jeep Grand Cherokee before any of that rubbish.

There's a good reason that was not included.

OMG!  A 999cc VW Polo. 

I wonder why Jeeps are used for towcar training at the show at the NEC.

cannot believe this from a 1 litre

Power (bhp@rpm): 188@3500-4000
Torque (lb/ft@rpm): 295@1750-3250

the VWUK website states 1 litre has 115ps where the 2 litre GTi has 200ps and thats a 6 speed DSG not 7.

seems they got it wrong again so cannot take the results seriously.

I assume that 'that' you refer to is a Jeep GC .... 🤔 and what's reputedly the good reason?

I'd have the Jeep before any of the TCOTY winners.

As these were the category winners ....

 Caravan Weight Under 1100kg - Volkswagen Polo SEL 1.0 TSI 115PS DSG
 Caravan Weight 1100kg - 1350kg - Peugeot 3008 Allure BlueHDi 180 EAT8
 Caravan Weight 1350kg - 1500kg - Volvo XC40 D4 AWD First Edition
 Caravan Weight 1500kg - 1700kg, Best Family Towcar and Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year 2019 - Volvo XC60 D5 PowerPulse AWD R-Design
 Caravan Weight over 1700kg - Volkswagen Touareg R-Line Tech 3.0 V6 TDI SCR 4MOTION 286PS TiptronicPick-Up - Volkswagen Amarok Highline 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 258PS Auto
 Best Large Family Towcar - SKODA Kodiaq Edition 2.0TDI 190PS 4x4 DSG

Can we assume that it was sponsored by VAG? And not a 'proper' auto to been seen ....

Does anyone actually buy a car on the basis of a Towcar of the Year Award? I doubt it. Most people have their own priorities which don't necessarily tie in with what someone else has reputedly 'tested'. No car that I've ever owned was a TOTY winner and yet I've been more than happy with most of them. The only one that I had which was marginal was a 1.8 petrol Vectra, but even that may have been OK with a smaller caravan.

They don't test them at the limit anyway, only within the 85% weight ratio, so the results are no help to anyone not wishing to abide by the recommendation.

It’s such a narrow field of entrants that it’s really of little use. 

Agree, there is very little there of value for someone to take notice of it before purchasing. I would hope that a little homework would be done by a prospective buyer before coming to a decision, rather than pick a winner from a limited list.
