New Tow Car Advice

Yes I can certainly see a 4x4 or AWD being a benefit.. but by no means its the be all and end all. Agree that It does largely also depend on where and when you are planning on getting away/towing?

... we have a Pursuit also and have towed all over for the last 4 years with no issues whatsoever. No getting stuck, no problems on ascents, descents or wet pitches. The latter 2 years have been with a Petrol too !!

Another consideration is whether your 'tow car' is also your main / family car. This was a big factor in our tow car choice, as i spend 350 days a year not towing.

Again - thanks for the replies; they are really useful. 

We only take the caravan out a handful of times per year hence the reason for not spending higher on a tow car. Our tow car is our main car though.

I think we are going to bite the bullet and order a Kornado. 

Bear in mind a new Korando is due late this year. Towing reviews seem mixed to me and not sure it is a car i would buy coming out of a Honda. I agree they are an enticing package but would look at similar priced used offerings from Kia, Hyundai or Mazda. 

If the old model is due to be replaced it might be the perfect time to get a good deal.
