I am thinking of buying a Kia Sorrento 2.5 diesel as a tow vehicle for my 2200kg caravan (unloaded) - as this vehicle is new to Australia (released August -07) there is no local history available. Has anyone had experience towing this weight?
Hi Bob, the Sorrie will pull a van of that weight no problem! just noticed the time that has passed since the previous post from baithooker to your own...... nearly 3 years !! wow.
As DS says. the sorento site is great, i've had mine for almost 3 years now and i love it, i use the site a lot and its pretty helpfull, but watch......once you look at all the modifications that everyone has done you soon get the bug.
Thanks for your replies - I will check out the web site.- currently I am pulling it with a 5.7 litre V8 that averages out at 20 litres/100km!! A lot of fuel for a planned 2 year trip around Australia! My concerns are not only the fuel, but whether the Sorrie will have enough grunt to do the job!
Thanks for all the posts. Also thinking of getting Sorrento. Can anybody point me to a FREE webpage that gives me secondhand prices? Thanks in anticipation
Hi there Manty, Just bought one myself last week 2.5xe, and though I have not towed with it yet, I.m very happy with it, got mine through www.autotarder.co.uk , just go into their drop down search box, type in your post code and your price range, and the model you are looking for and hey presto ! a list should pop up of all sorento's in your area. Best of luck.
Just type parkers into google and it gives you the parkers price guide,selling,buying,part ex prices plus car reviews,admittedly you have to pay £2.99 to do an extended valuation but the free ones are near enough.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
