I'm on my second Rexton. First one was a mid range, now on top of the range(186bhp). We pull a Lunar Clubman(2011) and it's a great towcar, never had any problems with it. The back end does not drop with the van on it. We have towed to the South of France with it and never had any issues.

The only thing I will need to do this year is get the air-con recharged.

We would never say a bad word about our Rexton. Tows our Abbey Vogue 600 with ease. We have not had any alterations done to it (2006 2.7Xdi 7 seat) and don't feel the need for more power. The Abbey tops out at 1700 and I expect we are always close to that figure. When we change the car we would most certainly get another Rexton. The kerbweight of ours is over 2000kg so nowhere near 100% match - more like 85%. Not sure what figures Grampian91 looked at but even with a roofbox we are getting 29 - 30 mpg towing. Asking for more than that from a big 4x4 is expecting Utopia.

The SPR like FM02ZMO has is a great model and on our next shopping list next year. Good luck with finding one - they are getting popular with the towing fraternity as they are a very good big towcar.
