Mitsubishi Outlander phev Towing

not for me thanks. stick with merc.

Ha,I'm with you really lornalou1, but its pretty low down to get in and out and the wife struggles. 

my wife is disabled and that is the main reason I got an SUV as easier for her to get in/out. there's a lot better tow cars on the market. it doesn't need to be 4x4 as caravan is quite a light one. Sportage/Tucson spring to mind and 7/5 years warranty. just my opinion as it's your choice and money.

like you we have a E Class Mercedes v6 and we have trouble getting in and out. so i am just brought a second hand suv a touareg just hope i have done the right decision    dave 

 Dave, VW are great vehicles, is it the 3Ltr model

Sorry but my wife had a Kia, my father has a Sportage and he taps his head getting in and out as the roof is fairly low. They are cheap and chearful and even with the warranty wouldn't be my choice. Im just interested in the electric side of the outlander as when not towing 95% of my weekly driving could be done on electric.  

pull a bus behind you with that, Magnet. been looking at them myself on tinternet or the Grand Cherokee.

i have got the Touareg now and my e class merc is up for sale so i hope its good looking forward to my first tow with her. nice and easy to get in and just as comfortable as the e class    dave

I have a Merc ML350AMG,  no problems getting in and effortless power to pull anything.  £250 PA tax at the moment, and about 32-34 MPG solo and 24 towing a 1640Kg caravan.  The best tow car I have ever had.

My present Merc is the C350 Sport with the AMG trim and toys, I love it and personally have no problem with it (just the wife getting in and out as its low). That stats are all pretty much the same  as yourself and that doesn't bother me either. I think the 'loud pedal' is going to get me some points soon lol.  I just fancy the Outlander, and the electric running most of the time. !! 

how far would the outlander travel on battery only in winter when the heated rear window/heaters/lights etc etc are all on. bet its not far before engine kicks in to give a boost and charge. might be worth getting some info from some outlander forums first. get a true reflection of what you will get in real life terms.
