New Tow Car Advice

Looking at The Spec for the new Korando your van will be well within it's capabilities assuming the 80kg nose weight limit is adequate.

Thank you for your reply.

As the Bailey doesn't have a large front locker, would 80kg of nose weight be sufficient? We are pretty cautious as to what we put inside the caravan.

The Korando comes in a 2 wheel drive and a 4 wheel drive. We have only towed with a 4x4 so not sure if its best to stick to what we know. Any thoughts?

We have had both,  2 litre 2wd towed Elldis 540 really loved it, after 50,000 miles decided to go for 2.2  awd No regrets at all ,same caravan again, really pleased. Now you get 7 yrs warranty, go for it you will be surprised. Badge police will be on soon.

For that mptlm 80kg will be fine.

Cheeky!😛

Thanks again for the replies. It's really useful to hear from someone who has towed with the Korando. 

Am I right in thinking that the 4WD is useful in particularly wet / muddy conditions? Other than that we wouldn't notice a huge difference? 

I have visited sites with present towcae on over 300 occasions and only engaged 4x4 lock once and if I had not then warden would have sited. I suppose if visiting a lot of CLs might be more useful. Also used automatic 4 wheel drive option on snow and ice and on poor roads. 

Like Easy T I have never had a problem with a 2wd car, although I did use the motor mover once to get the caravan off a wet pitch without damaging the grass. Unless you rally when you could be stuck in a wet field, I doubt the extra costs can be justified.

Don't forget the extra stability from 4x4's.

Depends where you plan to camp regards 4wd I use CLs and THS and find 4wd very useful never been stuck yet . When I used 2wd cars for the same type of sites I frequently needed help.
