Oh no not weights again - surely not

The short answer to the original question is yes, noseweight is part of the car's GVW.

No brainer. I’d tow with the 4x4 every time. 👍🏻

What's 4x4 got to do with towing under favourable road conditions?

Who said the road conditions would be favourable and the site mud free?

The Kia sounds a better bet as a towcar in my opinion. You may well disagree. 

I am not saying the Kia is not a good towcar but the OP was talking about towing the caravan on journeys which are presumably not across muddy fields.

yes but what towing towing in the rain, or even snow or ice? Yes you wouldn't set off when it's really snowing but you might get caught out?

I think as us, the added weight of most 4x4s tends to give a more stable tow ,and as the likes of our Kia are running as front wheel drive under normal conditions, with the drive transfering some of the power to the rear wheels automatically when needed,( 50/50 if locked),then we would not tow with anything else

Fair enough if you want to be prepared for all possible eventualities. I suppose it's a bit like insurance. Some people want to be covered against everything, others, for economic reasons, are willing to accept the odd minor risk.

Maybe the OP has no intention of towing in winter months and only visits sites with hard standing pitches. In a case like that a 4x4 would be overshooting the mark a bit.

Blimey , every question brings a question. My fault when I said I have a kia 4x4 what I should have said is I have another vehicle that is considerably heavier than the Peugeot. In fact of the two and having done two longish journeys the Peugeot tows the easier because of its better torque. One of the trips was in the rainy season to Norfolk earlier in the year and the warden specifically asked us 4 x4 people not to try and tow on and off the pitch. They did it with their tractors as the pitches were getting destroyed.

Lutz, thanks for answering the main question I am adding noseweight into my GVW calculations.
