Hi everyone, searched but could not find a relevant topic. retiring next year and planning to buy a caravan. Motability car to purchase and have settled on a ford Kuga. Choices are good but limited to keep the advance payment reasonable, Titanium 2.0 diesel 150PS manual FWD seems the best option but would have liked a Powershift model. Only problem is that it would have to either be the 187PS engine and 4WD which is pricey or the 2,0 118PS the latter having a lot less torque than the 150PS. Anyone tow with the lower power engine? Should I just settle for the manual and be happy with the choice. Need to get car sorted then look for a suitable van.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Enjoy your Kuga. We're on our second now (have the 180bhp 4wd version) and it tow like a dream without breaking the bank and will sit at 60 mph all day long. We go abroad every year with it - Carcassonne last year and Venice the year before. Quiet and comfortable. Enjoy.
