Hi all, I currently use a 2016 BMW X3 to tow my caravan.
Will maybe change cars next year & was just wondering is it always good practice to buy a 4 wheel drive car when towing? My thinking is if I was stuck in wet weather in a field for example, or is a rear-wheel drive just as adequate?
Cheers Tony.

All I can add is that I have a Tiguan Bluemotion with the intelligent 4 wheel drive. Last winter I was in N Yorkshire and got up some snowy hills when lesser cars failed so assume the 4 wheel clicked in and did it's stuff. I am normally a fair weather caravanner so would not expect to need the 4 wheel capabilities; however, when I towed with a front wheel drive car I often experienced wheel spin starting on gravel/grass inclines, don't get that with the Tig.
